Flower of the day. Birds of paradise. Gold on Black canvas.
Strelitzia reginae is a monocotyledonous flowering plant indigenous to South Africa (the Cape Provinces and KwaZulu-Natal). Common names include strelitzia, crane flower or bird of paradise, though these names are also collectively applied to other species in the genus Strelitzia. Its scientific name commemorates the British queen Charlotte of Mecklenburg-Strelitz. The species is native to South Africa but naturalized in Mexico, Belize, Bangladesh, Madeira Islands and Juan Fernández Islands off the coast of Chile. ~ Wikipedia

I did not know they grow wild. That’s so lucky for you that you don’t even have to look after them. We have them in the garden and they are so beautiful. Makes sense that they are related to the banana tree. Learnt something new. Thank you Charles!
