Beautiful bloom!

I love the curve in the stem makes it look like the neck of the bird of paradise

@365projectorgchristine Thanks for noticing, I framed the shot purposely to look like the neck.

We have a lot of these in Sydney. I’ve never got a photo that I’m all that happy with.
This photo is what I want.
