Bird Of Paradise Flower (Crane Flower)
Strelitzia is a genus of five species of perennial plants, native to South Africa. The genus is named after the duchy of Mecklenburg-Strelitz, birthplace of Queen Charlotte of the United Kingdom. The common name of the genus is Bird Of Paradise Flower, because of a supposed resemblance of its flowers to the Bird Of Paradise. In South Africa it is commonly known as a "crane" flower.
