An amazing garden

We were walking along in a small town near Fene and saw this flowering shrub of a beautiful orangey color. We stopped to take a photo and talked to the woman standing outside the fence working on the hedge. We asked her what it was. She wasn’t sure but then her husband came and she told him we had a question. He couldn’t remember but said that we should identify it with a phone app. Wynette started taking a photo through the gate and he said, come on inside the garden and get close, so we did.

It turns out that “bird of paradise” is the same in Spanish, but in Spanish of course
He was a sweet, cheerful, friendly man. He told us keeping a garden like that is a lot of work. His wife said the same thing. And we believed them.
The variety was amazing
