These are a couple of different Kangaroo paws that are in bloom at work at present. Tis the time of year for them really. I love the different variety you get with evergreen kangaroo paws (that is the type of kangaroo paw in the pictures). The colours can vary from green, yellow, orange and red. The heights of the flowers vary alot too. The top photo is not even quite knee height, so very short, while the bottom photo is well over 2 meters high. They are also brilliant for attracting birds into your garden, nectar feeders love them. They also go really well as a cut flower, I use to use them alot when I was studying floristry. They would last a good 2-3 weeks in a vase, however they are very thirsty and I would have to keep an eye on the water level other wise they would suck the water dry within a day.
