The bird of Paradise flowers became very popular in Spain, as General Franco's daughter had them in church when she got married. I grew them in the terrace later on. I love orchids.

Peonies came from China. They are often called "century plants". Varieties planted one hundred years ago still bloom each spring. The most common are the ones that grow in small plants, but they can also grow on trees. The flowers are larger.
