Bird of Paradise flowers are an exotic flowers, native to South Africa, and bloom from September through May.

    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,
