Beautiful bird of paradise... they are sooo common in california gardens,
aren't they?  Frrustrating , cant seem to ge t them going...here they seem
to not like the high humidity, though in Florida the weather was almost
like kolkata, I had a  large clump... but in India may be I am missing
something in the horticultural details...


That hummingbird picture link I sent was a pic taken by  a lady who
specializes in banding birds for id and studying migration etc ... she is
also very good with her camera it seems..

Good luck next time...
