Zombie Birds of Paradise

Bird of Paradise flowers in Detroit's Belle Isle Conservatory. The suckers look like they could have been from the gardens in Umbrella Corps as they were starting to die. The plant they were on filled the entire corner of the Tropical room.

([link] Belle Isle Conservatory homepage). The place is barely getting along with lots of volunteers and it won't be long before they close it down. If you love plants and jungle flowers then drop by their page and maybe donate a bit to them. Every little bit helps. Save the palm trees and orchids!
