Madeira (means wood in Portuguese) is a Portuguese island in the Atlantic Ocean, situated about 700 km from the African coast and about 1000 km from Portugal.
Because of many flowers which are growing here, Madeira is often called "the Island of flowers".
The Guindaste Viewpoint offers a wonderful view of the Atlantic outlining the northern coast of the island, extending from Faial to Ponta de São Lourenço.
Thank you for your visits comments and favs! :-)

A Bird of Paradise in the Royal Botanical Gardens Centre's Mediterranean Garden located in the City of Burlington Ontario Canada.
Bird-of-paradise is one of the world’s best-known plants. Native to the subtropical coastal areas of southern Africa, it has been cultivated worldwide, and it has been naturalized in North, Central, and South America, as well as in Portugal, where it is the national flower. Its exotic appearance, with unique and brightly colored flowers that look like the head of a bird, has made it a favorite with horticulturists, designers, florists, and gardeners. In full flower, a bird-of-paradise looks a bit like several birds hidden in a clump of foliage, craning their necks up and turning their plumed heads and pointed beaks in different directions.

I went out for a walk this afternoon and took a slightly longer one than I had intended, just so glad I did.
I never imagined in a lifetime that I would actually see these for myself. But here they are in Northern Brittany.

Strelitzia reginae
E: Crane flower or Bird of paradise
D: Paradiesvogelblume
Over the years I photographed thousands of flowers, with passion and joy, I never tire of them, hope you enjoy with me.
Another day, another composition.
A stunningly beautiful flower, exotic, well to us, not in the countries where they grow naturally. I always say it, one man's exotic is another man's 'daily'... lol
Thanx, M, (*_*)

A closer look at a beautiful Bird of Paradise flower... Such loveliness in little nooks and crannies...
My Bird of Paradise plants are in full flower at the moment though the high winds and rain throughout November have made them a bit ragged at times. Strelitzia reginae.
It reminds me of John Farnham's song - youtu.be/1wTWNmDnDzQ
The last of three photos I managed of this amazing flower. It is pretty similar to the first one I uploaded. But, never mind.

Strelitzia reginae, known as 'Bird of Paradise' or 'Crane Flower', is a popular garden plant for obvious reason. Specimens in my Gold Coast hinterland garden grow prolifically but flowers (280mm) become scruffy quite quickly as spikes bloom sequentially from the shield and die off. Pollination is effected by birds attracted by the spectacular blooms. Note that nectar is seeping from this example.
In my garden. La Ceja, Colombia.
Diglossa sittoides
(Rusty Flowerpiercer / Picaflor canela)
The Rusty Flowerpiercer is a small tanager of South American mountains. The species is found in forest, edge habitat, and gardens between 1500 and 3000 meters from the coastal mountains of Venezuela south along the Andes to northern Argentina. The hooked, upturned bill is used to puncture the bases of flowers for the purpose of feeding on nectar.

Strelitzia reginae is commonly known as the crane flower or bird of paradise is an evergreen perennial widely cultivated for its dramatic flowers.
Joseph Banks described the species in 1788. The specific epithet reginae means “of the queen”, and commemorates the British queen Charlotte of Mecklenburg-Strelitz, wife of George III.[3] Common names such as “crane flower” and “bird of paradise” reference the open flower’s resemblance to the head and beak of a colourful exotic bird. Wikipedia
De naam paradijsvogelbloem is gegeven doordat de bonte kleuren doen denken aan paradijsvogels. De bloemen worden in hun oorsprongsgebied ook daadwerkelijk bestoven door vogels (honingzuigers). De paradijsvogelbloem is afkomstig uit Zuid-Afrika. Hij wordt wereldwijd in (sub)tropische gebieden gekweekt. In België en Nederland kan de paradijsvogelbloem in de gematigde of warme kas worden gekweekt.
Spikes of the popular Strelitzia species unfold from the sheath in this case from right to left. I think this is now the complete array. Note that the sequential unfolding means that the first petals may deteriorate before later ones fully unfold, a hazard for photographers. Still, I think image one passes muster. I like especially the tones and texture of the last purple spike as it emerges.
