The Bird of Paradise or Strelizia is a native flower of South Africa - and is quite a spectacular flower. They seem to grow well - even if neglected - and several times a year green spikes grow from the crown of the plant and in time turn into spectacular flowers.
They are easy to grow - pretty drought tolerant. Cutting off the spent stems and dead leaves makes them look a neater plant too. We have two plants - one on either side of the driveway, and when in flower it is a spectacular sight.
