where the

Very nice capture, Dan. Good to see a bit of SA! That particular flower,
known to gardeners world wide as the "Bird of Paradise", is the South
African indigenous species Strelitzia Reginae.

Interesting flower, it bears some resemblance to that bird. I like the
bright colored petals.

A nice example well composed and exposed.
My only nit is the lack of space from the subject to the top and side edges.

That's a sturdy, healthy specimen. The flowers on ours get chewed up by
"swarms" of mouse birds. Nice to see a bit of home:

Also known as the Crane Flower here because of it's resemblance to the head
of a crowned crane:

Beautifully shot, David.
We enjoyed a few such plants while living in San Jose, CA.

Very very nice. The lighting, and the drooping flower against the very
