這是什麼花呀？查了老半天，原來就叫「赫蕉」。

赫蕉的花是倒垂的，花形優美，左右張開，互相串連，加上花色是紅綠相間，頗為顯眼，令人印象深刻，應該也是插花的好材料。至於葉子和一般芭蕉葉並沒什麼兩樣，只是小一號，用「具體而微」來形容也很貼切。

這幅倒垂赫蕉，我們把花串安排在一片扶疏的蕉葉之下，再在一兩枝伸出去的枝條上安插一對藍鳥，一隻正在梳羽，一隻正待飛離，兩鳥互相呼應，彷彿聽得到牠們的鳴叫聲。

False Bird of Paradise（赫蕉）

What kind of flower is this? I had to do a lot of searching before I found out that it is called a "false bird of paradise."
The false bird of paradise tends to nod over. The flowers have a lovely shape, and open on the right and left in chains. The color is a striking combination of red and green. I'm always impressed by this flower, and it should look nice in a flower arrangement. The leaves really do look like banana leaves, only smaller. Here I have used an appropriately "tiny and detailed" method to describe it.
I placed these nodding false bird of paradise flowers under a large leaf, and added a pair of blue birds among a couple protruding stems. One is preening its feathers, and the other is about to fly off. The two birds are in a state of mutual communication, as if we can hear their chirps.＠
