Strelitzia reginae
and other Strelitzia species
Common Name: Bird of Paradise, Crane Flower
All over the world, the dramatic and colorful Bird of Pardise flower is symbolic of the tropics, but most residents of Queensland will be familiar with the common Bird of Paradise in growing in local gardens.
However, there are a number of other species and cultivars of this genus to explore.
Warning: they have vigorous root systems so take care with placement. The larger species like S. nicolai and S. alba (= S. augusta) can get very tall also.
