Strelitzia first flower!

Look how crappy the ground is - needs serious replenishment. But I am excited at my first bird-of-paradise flower!



15 July 2018: Beautiful colours on the spike -


Update: 24 July: 
Here she comes! The silky smooth orange heart slowly emerges....it's almost sensuous!




Break-out day! 25 July, 2018:


Update 26 July: ...and she takes flight!

27 Sept 2018: This is the second flower, with the first looking a bit scrappy now...
