Description
A visit to one of our Butterfly gardens yielded this beautiful and unusual red bird of paradise while visiting. You cannot miss it because of it's stunning red and yellow vivid color. This image was taken with a Nikkor 55mm-300mm lens and a texture by Pamela Phelps was added. Thank you, Pamela.
Bird-of-paradise flower is highly-prized and widely cultivated as an ornamental. The flowers are good for cutting and make an exotic addition to floral displays. Individual flowers last for about a week, but a single boat-shaped bract will produce several flowers in succession. When not in flower, the plant still has a striking appearance due to the large glaucous leaves which resemble those of banana plants.
