Hey person, our house is right here. Where are we going?
The end of the street? Why would we want to go there?
You want to take more pictures? I’m about ready to smash your camera. All you want to do is take pictures anymore. We could go on much longer walks if you weren’t always stopping to take pictures.
I’m what? I’m getting a longer walk so you can take pictures? But we could have stayed on my trails and had a longer walk there.
You’re stopping here? What is this?
Yellow Bird of Paradise? If those things are birds why aren’t they flying away? Every time I get near birds on my trails they fly away from me. Is there something wrong with these birds? Are their feet tied down or something?
Oh, wait. I bet they are tied down. I heard a song once about the bird of paradise flying up your nose. I bet somebody didn’t like that idea so they tied those birds down to keep them from flying up their nose. I don’t think I’d like them flying up my nose either. Person, I think we’d better go home before one of them gets loose.
Hey person, check this out. Those birds found one of those elusive century plants and stuck it right on my street. After all the trouble I had finding those plants. Those birds really are a nuisance. Not only do they fly up noses, they gang up together and chase after plants that are hiding in the woods. We’d better make sure those birds are tied down really tight.

-Birds of Paradise..I have seen these plants in the shop but they are different to yours..Maybe there are different types. according to the country.The ones I have seen have lots of blue in them
Those century plants are amazing..thank you for information about them,,, If you collect the seeds when they are ready..could you grow them in your garden

Patreciau, there are other flowers called Bird of Paradise that are different than the ones that grow here. As far as the century plants – lots of people do have them growing in their yard. They are called agave. They hang out as agave for many years before they turn into century plants, drop their seeds, and then die.

Your trails are like a nature show. There are no trails here. But someone dropped a potato chip on the ground and I almost got it – till Mom snatched it away. One man’s treasure…..
Love and licks,

Cupcake, that’s so disappointing that you didn’t get to eat that potato chip. Sometimes I find bones on my trails and my person won’t let me eat them either.

Are you sure they’re tied down? Those wiry things seem to be flying around there.

Rumpy, I’m not sure but at least I haven’t gotten one up my nose yet.

Tied down, flying, or not, they sure are pretty!
Bongo

Thanks Jen. My person thinks they’re pretty too. Me, I just want to keep my nose protected from them.

Karen, I just hope I don’t see them all flying down my street.

You have amazing plants where you live. Very different than where I live.

Patricia, our plants really are different here. They have to survive with very little water, but I do give them some extra water sometimes.

Mom thinks the Bird of Paradise plants are very pretty but we agree it would be terrible to have one of those up your nose so keep protecting yours. We didn’t know there were so many blooming plants by your house, we must drive too fast to see them. M & D are going to have to walk next time.

Lexie and Mica, I’m sure you know that it’s much better to walk. You get to enjoy everything way more. I’m keeping an eye on those Birds of Paradise – making sure they’re still tied down.

Bongo, I think I’m gonna move house. Your plants are so beautiful, your environment is great and you have so much more sun than we have in this almost daily raining land… The Bird of Paradise is as amazing as the plant 🙂
Bongo

Angels Whisper, my person says you can send a little of your rain over here. We haven’t had any in a very long time – but we don’t want it every day. Come on over – it is beautiful here.

Weird birds, Bongo. You better make sure they stay tied up there… you never know what they may be up to! Got to admit though, they are beautiful, aren’t they?!
Bongo
June 9, 2012 at 7:52 am
Marina, my person agrees that those birds are beautiful. I just want to make sure they don’t get into any mischief.

Wow how gorgeous those Bird of Paradise are!!!! I think that you have lots of exotic plants on your trails that I’ve never seen here! Thanks for sharing them! 🙂

Kevin, I know you have some beautiful plants where you live too. Ours are different than most places though, because they have to survive in a mostly dry environment.

Sweet Bongo you just crack us up…you are so funny! We love the pictures you share with us so we hope you don’t get too put out with the picture taking. That Bird of Paradise is an interesting plant. We are happy your picture was first. Hugs and nose kisses

Chancy and Mumsy, my person says she is teaching me patience by making me wait while she takes pictures. I guess learning patience is okay if you enjoy the pictures. Hugs and nose kisses back to you.

Remember Bongo, if your person never took pictures we would never see these lovely photos 🙂

Bassa, I guess I really like seeing all the pictures the tall person takes of you and things where you live. I’d better be nice and let my person share things from where I live.

We apologise for being behind Bongo! Something came up but we are catching up now. Beautiful Birds of Paradise…. Ginger says you should throw them your person’s camera and then mark them.. that will teach them… perhaps you can throw them scratchy… hehehe
Your friends,
the collies and chuck 🙂

Collies and Chuck, I like that – a bird of paradise flying up Scratchy’s nose. My person is way behind again too. She says she’s doing something called VBS – whatever that is. Something about Bibles and kids.

Hey Bongo, Jet here.
Gosh dude, those birds are sure pretty, maybe they should be set free!

Hey Jet, you can’t trust those birds. They’ll fly up your nose before you know it.
