Bird of Paradise (Strelitza reginae)

Bird of Paradise found on UH Manoa's Upper Campus

The Strelitza reginae commonly known as the Bird of Paradise flower is common to South America. It is a very common ornamental plant around the world because of the interesting flower that resembles a tropical bird. Also when the plant is not in bloom the leaves of the plant are long and kind of resemble that of a banana tree. The Bird of Paradise is a common ornamental plant here on the islands because it loves sunlight and adds to the islands tropical essence.
