On the Way to Paradise....

If a man could pass through Paradise in a dream, and have a flower presented to him as a pledge that his soul had really been there, and if he found that flower in his hand when he awake - Aye, what then?
Samuel Taylor Coleridge

Hi my friends,

Birds of Paradise, 

also known as Crane flowers are one of the most beautiful Exotic Flowers. Birds of Paradise are native to South Africa. Birds of Paradise bloom from September through May.

The flowers of the Birds of Paradise resemble a brightly colored bird in flight and so the name Birds of Paradise.

The Queen of all flowers: the rose

Tropical Flowers

Tropical flowers are the most beautiful flowers I ever have seen. I'm totally in love with these creatures and never can get enough of them to photograph. If I would have a bigger yard I would turn it into a tropical rain forest with all the plants, trees and flowers what are growing here.

A Full Moon Night in Paradise

It was a wonderful full moon night in paradise!

Moon...Moon...Moon...Come to me
Release me...make me free
Absorb me in your luminesence
Sparkling pathway of your fluorosence
Dancing in the sky
Lovers looking at you sigh
Oceans leap and surge
Stars whirl and merge

Contrasts

What a contrast in life styles!

Fun for every one?

This "Bird of Paradise" I found hidden away in a secret garden in St. Augustine, Florida.

Gefunden habe ich diese Prachtsblume einer "Bird of Paradise" - oder wie wir in Deutsch sagen "Papageienblume" - an einem versteckten Ort eines verwunschenen Gartens in St.Augustine, die aelteste Stadt der USA.
