Bird-of-Paradise

Bird-of-paradise (Strelitzia reginae) is a native of South Africa and one of the most unusual and attractive members of the banana family (Musaceae). This popular plant bears a unique flower that resembles a brightly colored bird in flight, giving it the common name, bird-of-paradise. The photo was taken on February 2, 2007 in Haifa (Israel).

Beautiful photo of the strelitzia. I like the contrast of the blossom and the background with the very fine lines of the leaves
