Of the Palo Verde, it's much more showy and so far I've only seen one grow to 6 feet which is tall enough for me. Pardon the background, that's the pine tree I'm working on currently
I am assuming you have seen this variety on your travels through the US @ladyduck is that correct?
This is the one and only Desert Bird of Paradise @diannen, the bush I stole the seed pods from was the Red variety but I suppose the bees cross pollinated and of course this one came up. I love it though. What do you think?
I found the cover of Apache by Jeff Beck, I thought it was awesome. Can you tell I like this tune?

I am not familiar with it maybe because I don't see them in my country.

@rebelann Yes, I know that! We have a lot of that flowers here, in the church, at home, but we do not have it at home, but you can usually see that in the rich family's home... heheheh.

@rebelann ........ I'm happy here in Idaho with all four seasons. Our winter here is much less than it used to be.

I think they are beautiful! I may have seen them when I was in your neck of the woods, but at the time knew nothing about flowers. They grew beautifully for you. It would be awesome if you could create many more in your yard from their seeds or from some more pilfered seeds.
I would love to try growing them in Connecticut, but they prefer hot, dry areas. Enjoy them!

You might try the other Bird of Paradise plants
I found one video I thought you might like to see on the subject
Enjoy the videos and music you love, upload original content, and share it all with friends, family, and the world on YouTube.

I like the song "Apache" performed by Jeff Beck as well as "Sleepwalk".

I didn't realize that song was titled Apache. I know it well. That's a lovely bush.

It's a classic tune and I remember hearing it back in the late 1960s on one of the FM radio stations we had back then but they never played it as often as I would have liked
