Bird of Paradise

'Strelitzia Reginae'

This Bird of Paradise is situated right outside my kitchen window in my very own 'Garden of Paradise' and it looks spectacular when it is in bloom. I'm hoping to capture a photo of it while some birds are on it next time it flowers.

The common name of the genus is bird of paradise flower, because of a supposed resemblance of its flowers to the bird of paradise. In South Africa it is commonly known as a 'Crane' flower.
