Even though we’re heading towards the end of October, the Garden has its own plans when it comes to plants blooming. This week, you can catch the beautiful bird of paradise, the official flower of Los Angeles, in bloom. Learn more about its origins in Georgiann Keller’s audio blog this week, plus she discusses additional flowers that love this time of year, and a few surprise blooms that are popping up out of season. Stop by and see them for yourself!
