THE BIRD OF PARADISE
The Bird of Paradise flowers look like a tropical flying bird, hence the origin of its nickname.
Strelitzia Nicolai - was named after the Duchess of Mecklenburg-Strelitz, Queen Charlotte. She was known to be extremely fond of plants and flowers. This tropical specimen originating from South Africa was named after her in the 18th Century.
Notes: Make sure you have the Bird of Paradise positioned in indirect sunlight, but it needs light for at least 6 hours a day. Check the soil is dry 2 inches beneath the surface before watering. You can also rotate the plant to make sure it grows evenly on all sides, and dust the leaves so the plant can photosynthesize.
