Today’s bloom is a favorite, just for sheer whimsy’s sake:
This is the Bird of Paradise, and when open reminds me of a particularly colorful fox.
Protip: To get them to bloom, feed them with a mild fertilizer every other week in spring and summer.

Beautiful. I have one of these too, but it isn’t blooming now. Thanks for reminding me how great the flower looks.
