Fall is our favorite season. Fall is the time when temperatures begin to change, and nighttime is earlier. The best part of Fall are the beautiful foliage. We are missing it …
It’s still warm here in Southern California (still Summer like weather). The closet Fall colors we see every day are Bird of Paradise flowers, also known as Crane flowers. Bird of Paradise flowers are an exotic flowers, native to South Africa, and bloom from September through May. Bird of Paradise produces a unique flower that resembles a brightly colored bird in flight.
Sugar loves sniffing the Bird of Paradise. We learned recently that the Bird of Paradise is classified in the banana family Musaceae due to its banana-shaped leaves. No wonder … Sugar loves banana 🙂

We love the Bird of Paradise! What a beautiful flower!! We also love Sugar’s harness. Happy Seeing Beautiful!!
they grow wild all over australia too – Mom remembers them well growing up there
Hi Y’all!
Oh that is a beautiful flower.
It’s still quite warm here, but not as warm as the low country, which is still underwater. We’ll be enjoying the high country a while longer. The drought has dulled the color and the heavy rains and winds stripped many of the leaves already.
Y’all come on by,

I love Bird of Paradise. We bought some seeds to grown our own at Disney World, but no luck. I don’t have a green thumb at all!
Beautiful indeed!

We’re glad you were able to find some fall beauty there!!
Oh how I loved our Bird of Paradise flowers when we lived in California! There’s so much beauty in California all year round. So interesting about the banana connection. No wonder Sugar likes them too.
That’s a beautiful flower. And of course, beautiful Sugar.
