The "Strelitzia reginae" or "Bird of Paradise" is a member of the banana family and although this flower is often associated with tropical places, like Hawaii, the plant is actually native to South Africa.

This a statement plant, with its orange and blue flowers protruding from a green spathe in a form that resembles a bird in flight, hence its nickname! 

A beautiful addition to any home looking to add a splash of colour to dull spaces. 

 

Notes: This plant measures in at 35cm in height and the pot is 12cm.

Please note that a Strelitzia Reginae of this size does not flower.
