Origin & History

Botanists are divided on how this remarkable flower got its name. Some maintain that the flower's brilliant orange and blue blossom, which resembles a bird in flight, is named after the bird of paradise itself — one of the most beautiful bird species in the world. However, since this flower is also known as the strelitzia, some believe that it was named after England's Queen Charlotte, who was born Charlotte Mecklenber-Strelitz.

Florist Tips

Flowers are great for improving ambiance and can be used to create some remarkable decorative effects - especially when used in lieu of traditional home décor items. Instead of curtains, why not try a row of simple vases holding your favourite flower stems? Or, for art, how about hanging a vase of flowers instead of a watercolor? Now you get the picture. Don't just limit yourself to the living room... have some fun!
