Did you know the Bird of Paradise is also known as a crane flower? Whatever its name, it is one of the most beautiful of all exotic flowers and it does resemble a brightly colored bird in flight. Here in Southwest Florida we can grow them in our gardens. It will flower best in full sunlight.

Jackie has a talent with flowers and will help you paint this beauty so that you can look at it every day – even when the garden variety are not in bloom. Enjoy your day with watercolor as you learn to paint this single bloom!
