The bird-of-paradise is one of the most famous and distinctive of the subtropical and tropical flowers with its unusual inflorescence that looks like a feathered crown atop a crane's head. 'Mandela's Gold' (formerly 'Kirstenbosch Gold') is a special form with yellow flowers, rather than the usual orange, accented with blue. Strelitzia reginae is from South Africa. Grow it in a pot outdoors in full sun in the summer with good moisture and fertilizer. Bring it indoors in fall to spend the winter. It will bloom indoors from January to March.
