Mexican Bird of Paradise– Image by kenne
Look at what the morning brings
the sun rising over the mountains
bringing life back from death
towering stalks holding buds
above the desert’s dry rocky soil
soon blossoming in yellow and red
the beautiful Mexican Bird of Paradise.

Beautiful.
These plant are now beginning to bloom and will continue to do so well into the fall — Thanks.
De-light-ful!:)

Glad you like it!
Wow! Nature’s color combinations sometimes surprise me. Wish these beauties were outside my door.
One of my favorite desert flowers and needs very little water.
I just re-did my backyard landscape and incorporated these Mexican Bird of Paradise flowers into the design. I also live in Tucson and found a local company to install my Tucson sod for me. They did a great job installing the grass, I definitely wanted to leave that part for the professionals. Here’s their site – http://evergreenturf.com/ – Once they had the grass installed I just finished up with the flowers and some decorative pots. It came out really nice, I’m ready to spend the entire summer in my backyard swimming in the pool!
