It's October in Arizona and the Mexican Bird of Paradise is in one of its full blooms. The shrub flowers serveral time during a single year and is always showy and dramatic with its red/orange blossoms and its complimentary blue/turquoise folliage. The frilly detail of this plant is captivating to the eye. it's always visually in motion, compositionally dynamic... just another reason to love the Merican southwest.
