This bright orange Bird of Paradise flower certainly looks like an exotic bird strutting its stuff and showing off its plumage. It didn't take too much imagination to come up with the common name for this flower. Now, if we could only agree on what all the parts represent. Is the thick, lower part a closed beak, or the lower jaw of a beak that's completed by the thinner indigo part above? However you look at it, it's a beautiful flower and September is the right time of year to start seeing it.
Thanks to @kalemandra for starting this #colorchallenge ! I love trying to come up with something different to post for each day of the week, although usually it's a flower or a car...
