Strelitzia One Defers to Two
Strelitzia reginae, known as 'Bird of Paradise' or 'Crane Flower', is a popular garden plant for obvious reason. Specimens in my Gold Coast hinterland garden grow prolifically but flowers (280mm) become scruffy quite quickly as spikes bloom sequentially from the shield and die off. Pollination is effected by birds attracted by the spectacular blooms. Note that nectar is seeping from this example.
