bird of paradise strelitzia


salvaged bird os paradise florishing in my garden, another four flowers this year makes ten flowers,4,4,2 since I rescused it from a residential development site clear. Credit to the guys they delivered it into the right position for $50, a bargain for a huge three people required plant like this. Massive root system. Said to be hard to transplant, though haven't checked the vorasity of that yet.
