Ah, from my part of the world 🙂 🙂 🙂
It has become a common landscape plant in Florida and warm zones here. I love their flowers.
A nice abstract! Nature has the best of these!
Thank you, Caroline!
So many colors to see if you actually look!
Yes, it pays to look closely. 🙂 Thanks, Su!
Natures architecture 👏
Yes, She gifts us with beauty everywhere. 🙂
What a blend of colours!
Thank you, Isha! x
Wonderful lines and color, ELiza.
Thank you, Steve!

You made me think and look! 🙂
Thanks, Judy. The color contrast captivated me.
Beautiful abstract, Eilza!
Thank you, Dale. I loved the color contrast. 🙂
With good reason!
🙂
I had no idea what this plant could be. Once I looked it up, I saw a bird’s ‘beak’ pointing downward in the middle of the image.
Yes, I can see that now, thanks for the creative take!
My first guess was rhubarb, but I looked up strelitzia reginae. Is yours an exotic houseplant or in your garden?
It is sold here as an annual, for gardens and containers. I got this one from my SIL at the end of a season, and had it for a few years inside where it grew to 7′, but never bloomed. I had to re-home it when it hit the ceiling!
Wow!
Pretty, strong leaves. (….needed to look up…I do know the plant). Does yours bloom in the winter, inside? Goes outside during the warmer months? How long do the flowers last?
It becomes a huge tropical plant and sadly, it never bloomed for me, but sent out ever-taller, huge leaves. When it reached the ceiling last fall, I had to re-home it. It now lives with a neighbor. 🙂
Wonderful color, pattern, and texture! Love those closer looks.
Thank you, Laurie!
🥰🙌🏻🥰
Thank you, Susan!
I love this image. I love when “real” things mirror abstract art. Beautiful.
Thank you, Sylvia. I think it was my favorite part of the plant. Although the unfurling spirals of the leaves was pretty cool, too. 🙂
It’s not outside in the snow is it?!
No, it’s a tropical that doesn’t take temps below 60º… it was a cast off from my SIL, which I took care of until it hit the ceiling and had to be re-homed. 🙂
Such amazing detail! Thanks for sharing a view many of us have never noticed.
Thank you, Debbie… grateful to share!
Love this Eliza
Thank you, Karina!
I see from Wikipedia that the species name reginae, which means ‘of the queen,’ commemorates the British queen Charlotte of Mecklenburg-Strelitz, wife of George III.
Thanks, Steve!
I love the edging of reds on these plants 🙂
Thank you, Donna. This junction always captivated me!
Lovely colours and texture.
Thank you, Belinda. 🙂
love the colors!
Thank you, Ellen. 🙂
Always something to see – possibly in your garden.
So true! Thank you, Diana.
‘Strelitzia reginae’ – sounds like it ought to be a Viennese Waltz 😀
😀 Yes!
… and, one-two-three, one-two-three … 😀
Excellent detail shot, Eliza. 😍
Thanks much!
Lovely abstract Eliza. Btw, here in SA the Strelizia reginae is a shrubby plant that grows in large clumps up to about 1.5 m high so I was amazed to hear that your plant indoors grew up to the ceiling! The tall tree-like Strelizia that I am familiar with is S. nicolai.
Thank you, Carol. I think the lack of strong light here led to its elongation. Either that or it was mislabeled, which is always a possibility!
