Bird of Paradise
This
is a herbaceous plant know mostly for its brilliant
blue and orange flowers that resemble some kind of tropical bird.
The stem of the plant resembles a long neck of a bird while the
vibrant blossoms represent a tuft of feathers upon the
"bird's" crown. A succession of three petaled flowers,
each about 6 inches long, emerges in full color from a boat shaped
pod on top of a 3 to 4 foot stalk.
