Strelitzia

Strelitzia flowers are so fantastical that they can easily overtake a canvas, which they did on my first attempt to paint them.  I gessoed over the result and tried again and this time they were better behaved.

An enormous Strelitzia

At my front door there is an enormous Strelitzia plant that should be dug out, or at least divided.

Digging up and/or dividing would take a lot of muscle and would probably be best done in winter. While I wait and contemplate how it could be done I paint.
