Exotic Bird of Paradise

Although our Bird of Paradise plants bloom regularly they usually only have one or two flowers at a time.  Lately the plants have had a minimum of around five flowers at a time.  I'm not a huge fan of the foliage itself, but the flowers really do have a unique and exotic look.  It took me a few minutes but I finally got what I think is a great angle for a picture.  My only complaint is the metal rod behind the flower in the front of the image.  Other than that I think it look great and might use it as a desktop wallpaper for a while.
