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...
