Birds of paradise produce a unique inflorescence that is very popular with florists. Its bird-like bloom is highly sought after in flower bouquets. However, to successfully flower, the plant must be mature and in optimal conditions (sun, humidity, heat). Despite the rarity of its flowers, it remains majestic in its shape and the size of its foliage. Strelitzia Reginae can reach up to 2 meters in height. The 'Mandela's Gold' variety has yellow flowers.
