This beautiful flower is called a Bird of Paradise, for obvious reasons. They are quite large, and apparently a good hiding place for sneaky little geckos.
"What sets the world in motion is the interplay of differences, their attractions and repulsions... By suppressing differences and peculiarities, by eliminating different civilizations and cultures, progress weakens life and favors death. The ideal of a single civilization for everyone, implicit in the cult of progress and technique, impoverishes and mutilates us. Every view of the world that becomes extinct, every culture that disappears, diminishes a possibility of life."
Kofi Annan
