The Bird of Paradise has finally flowered!

The Bird of Paradise has finally flowered!, originally uploaded by malyousif.

The last time this guy flowered was when I was incapacitated, bed-bound and suffering from a back injury. I remember my daughter Hanan went out and took a picture of it showing me it’s first flowering in our garden ever.

Well, it’s flowering again, a whole three years between the last time it did so and now.

I am thrilled!

Strelitzia, originally uploaded by malyousif.

This is the first of four Strelitzias to flower. This plant is 3 years old and this is only the second time that it blooms.
