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!

I love seeing this right now. From the thumb, my first thought was Strelitzia, and then I thought no, you'd brought a dragon along. Can you see it, almost like a pterodactyl with a crest? What's so funny is that today when we went to the Botanic Gardens, I was so struck by how the backlit blossoms looked like animals. DH was trying to tell me I didn't need MORE photos of Strelitizia, but I am glad I took them anyway. And glad you got yours on card even without the camera.
