mexican bird of paradise

15 years ago

Does anyone have a picture of a mexican bird of paradise seedling? I have several volunteers sprouting in my yard and I wonder if they might be mexican bird of paradise. I have never seen one before. These seem to fit the description: two long paralell veined leaves and several fernilike branches with small, oval leaves. Thank you!
