…much less common and far bigger than normal Birds of Paradise

Found this beauty at the Centennial Park Conservatory. The horticulturists had to clear away a lot of the surrounding foliage so that you could see this rare plant. It’s not as colourful as Birds of Paradise that we’re used to seeing in bouquets but it’s about 4 times bigger.

Children are spellbound with carnivals and fairs. At the CNE last summer our granddaughter was ‘spellbound’ by the sights and smells of last year’s Exhibition in Toronto.

I appear to be spellbound by the dessert in front of me. I think I was more gobsmacked by the price of this classic cake.
