Bird of Paradise, Strelitzia reginae

            VIEW ON BLACK --- City Hall - Orange, CA

This flower may be strange and unusual in many parts of the world.  It originated in South Africa and was first introduced in Europe in 1773.  Since then it has been planted in the Americas and Australia but may not be widespread in many areas.  Flowers may be spectacular in an unconventional way.  

I prefer my photos to be viewed in full screen format.
