While 'orange' & I commonly restrict our relationship to my favorite breakfast juice, I knew when I read this week's WT258 challenge, that I might just be able to stamp with it. Actually, it seemed a natural choice to continue on with Mothermark's Teapot challenge colors representing Mardi Gras, so the parade of color continues! Step clear of those Mardi Gras floats, everyone! Sure enough, while in Anaheim, CA last month, I was blessed to see rows & rows of Bird of Paradise plants growing in so many landscapes and medians. The persistent rains kept my camera inside the bag while outdoors, but thankfully, my memory is now on cardstock!

WOWZA, Tex! You've totally captured the essence of SD perfectly with this BoP image. These just happen to be my most favorite plants. FYI, you can grow them indoors! I always take mine outside april through November here, and they grow so beautifully. Ooooh, this card takes me right back to the heart of SD landscape. Fabulous, dahling, simply fabulous.
