Birds of Paradise

A   L   O   H   A  !

" Men
 for the sake of 
getting a living 
forget to 
live. "

Margaret Fuller





















 “ Only the mediocre
 are always 
at their best.”

 Jean Giraudoux











 " From the Back "




















The flower that smells
 the sweetest 
is shy and lowly.  "

William Wordsworth

























 " All changes
 are more or less
 tinged with melancholy, 
for what we are 
leaving behind
 is part of 
ourselves.  "

Amelia Barr








" You leave old habits 
behind
 by starting out 
with the thought,
 'I release the need 
for this in my life. "
 
Wayne Dyer

  5. Very true, and I'd love to release a field of "Bird of Paradise" flowers all around my yard! They quite possibly are my most favorite flower ever-because I catch them smiling all the time! Thank you for being here to brighten our day Cloudia- Karen (in search of more Birds of Paradise) :)

  19. did your bird grow up to a tree? In my old house, we had a clump, they don't grow high. May be it is my husband, always too happy to prune too much.
