Wonderful.
You've said Strelizia is grown a lot in your neighbourhood.
To those of us who've not seen these, each one is amazing.

Terratoonie,

This plant is very widely grown all over the low-elevations of California. In San Diego it is even used as a hedge...and in many areas is used in the street medians. It's so commonly planted because of its drought tolerance.

I'm so glad you can appreciate this plant photo...because we really do take these plants for granite here.
