The bird of paradise flower photographed in Corso Colombo in Sestri. Last year, walking along Corso Colombo in my Sestri Levante, I spotted this beautiful flower in the flowerbeds. The Bird of Paradise flower, scientifically known as Strelitzia reginae, is an exotic ornamental plant that captures attention for its extraordinary beauty and unique shape that resembles a bird in flight. Native to South Africa, this flower is widely grown in gardens and greenhouses throughout the world, thanks to its resistance and visual impact. Strelitzia reginae belongs to the Strelitziaceae family and is an evergreen perennial plant. It can reach a height of 1-1.5 meters, with large, leathery, dark green leaves and an oval-lanceolate shape. The leaves are arranged alternately along the stem, creating a visual effect similar to that of bananas, to which Strelitzia is closely related. The true wonder of Strelitzia reginae lies in its flower. The plant produces a spike-shaped inflorescence, composed of a bluish-green envelope called a “spathe”, which contains five to seven individual flowers. Each flower consists of three bright orange sepals and three deep blue petals. The petals, arranged in such a way as to resemble the crest and beak of an exotic bird, give the plant its common name of Bird of Paradise. Strelitzia reginae usually blooms in spring and summer, but in favorable climatic conditions it can also bloom several times a year. The flowers last a long time, both on the plant and cut, making them ideal for floral arrangements and decorations. Strelitzia reginae is a relatively easy plant to grow, as long as some basic conditions are met. It prefers a warm and sunny climate, with temperatures that do not fall below 10-12 ° C. It is a very drought-resistant plant, but for optimal growth it is important to provide regular irrigation during the growing season, while avoiding water stagnation that could cause root rot. The ideal soil for Strelitzia reginae is well-drained and rich in organic matter. During spring and summer, it is advisable to fertilize the plant every 4-6 weeks with a balanced fertilizer to encourage flowering. The plant can be grown both in the open ground, in gardens in regions with a mild climate, and in pots, so that it can be sheltered in a greenhouse or indoors during the colder months in regions with harsh winters. The Bird of Paradise flower is often associated with positive symbolic meanings, such as freedom, exotic beauty and joy. Thanks to its unique shape and bright colors, it is highly valued as an ornamental plant in public and private gardens, and as a cut flower for floral decorations. In the garden, Strelitzia reginae can be used as a focal plant, in groups to create exotic effects, or along the edges of flowerbeds. In pots, it is ideal for decorating terraces, balconies and bright interiors. Cut flowers are highly sought after by florists for their long-lasting beauty and ability to add a touch of exoticism to any floral arrangement. Scientific name: The plant is named after Queen Charlotte of Mecklenburg-Strelitz, wife of King George III of the United Kingdom. Pollination: In its natural habitat, Strelitzia reginae is pollinated by birds of the genus Nectarinia, which land on the flower and, looking for nectar, transfer pollen from one flower to another.
