Published on January 2, 2020, the article highlights the beauty and elegance of birds of paradise in flower arrangements.
The bird of paradise flower, or Strelitzia reginae, is the most common and well-known species. It grows to a height of one to two meters, with leaves and flowers emerging from a stout rhizome.
Native to the tropics of southern Africa and southern America, both the bird of paradise and its less famous cousin, the white bird of paradise, are relatively easy to grow in many parts of the world.
Whether used in a single stem arrangement or as a statement piece, birds of paradise add a touch of timeless elegance to any home.
