Pictures of flowers

This is a rain lily:


They grow wild here, and bloom only after it rains. The blooms last for only a day or so and then they are gone until next time it rains. And somehow they know the difference between rain and sprinklers. This one is near the corner of my driveway, under what is left of my variegated ligustrum tree.

These are birds of paradise:


I only became aware of them recently, and then drove past a house that had an entire front yard full of them. And yes, I know I shouldn't be driving and taking pictures at the same time.
