Flower Facts | Strelitzia |
Strelitzia
Name: Also known as
Bird of Paradise. Named Strelitzia after Charlotte of Mecklenburg-Streliz, who
married King George III to become Queen of England in 1761. Origin: Originate from South Africa. Colour: A green 'beak' with a bright orange and blue crest, silvery-green leaves. Availability: All year round. Limited availability in summer. Care Tips: Purchase Strelitzia when the first flower bud is fully open. They ooze sap which can make the flower quite sticky; this sap can be wiped away carefully. Pull away wilted crests and new ones will pop up from inside the 'beak'.
