Yep - called Bird of Paradise here in the Phoenix, AZ area - where they grow their best in the shade. Nice capture, and the greens set of the vivid colors of the flower very nicely.

Julie Lovely capture of this Bird of Paradise plant, and I see everyone has chipped in with it's 'proper name' too which I wouldn't have been able to spell. Brilliant colours and they show up so well against the varied green background

Hi Julie very nice,
colorful shot.
I like very much this flower.
His botanic name is "Strelitzia reginae", indigenous to South Africa, with a large diffusion in the mediterranean area.
And yes, in Britain it's also known as 'bird of paradise'
In the flower language it means something like "deep anxiety".
cheers
Giorgio

Whatever it is, it is a pretty plant. All the greenery in your picture makes for a lovely composition.

Jullie no one hase to think anymore about your plant the original name of thie one is THE BIRD OF PARADISE. I know becouse I was a keen gadener
but now I am a keen photogragher, anyway we used to have one we grew it from seed and it grew so big we donated it to a Hospital, hope its still there, excellent photo Jullie nice and sharp and
your other latest one's are also brilliant too

Julie, It is a Stralitzia flower. Indiginous to South Africa as far as I know. Easy grown. It is also called the "Crane Flower". Very nice capture against the green leaves. Lovely shot.
