| Once seen, Bird of Paradise is never forgotten! This amazing bloom really does resemble a bird's head (a crested variety, such as an egret!), in colors as bright as a tropical sunset -- oranges, coppers, blues, and crimsons! Easily the star of any setting it graces, this spectacular houseplant can be dressed up in formal arrangements or treated whimsically. One of Nature's most astounding creations, it never fails to intrigue all who see it! The plant itself is 4 feet tall, with long, dramatic blue-green foliage (the leaves reach a foot and a half long and 6 inches wide!) and a tall, sturdy central bloomstalk 3 feet long! At the top of this stalk is the bloom, 6 to 8 inches long, held out horizontally from the plant for maximum show of the stunning orange and blue petals! Very long-lasting, it defines "exotic," yet can be grown from seed in very rich soil and bright light. Pkt is 5 seeds. |
