Birds of Paradise Plants

Birds-of-paradise plants are flowering plants native to South Africa, where they are also called crane flowers. Known commonly as the bird of paradise because of a resemblance of its flowers to birds-of-paradise, they are stunning exotic tropical plant with distinct flowers and leaves like a banana plant.



The flowers on birds-of-paradise plants are the unique feature. Although the large foliage is eye-catching, it’s the white, yellow, or orange flowers that look like cranes that grab attention. The colorful spiky petals stick up like a crane’s plumage and the blue or black modified leaf looks like the bird’s beak.


They thrive well in places where there is bright light, warm temperatures and high humidity. Hence, they are a common sight here in Singapore. They are planted as ornamental plants in beds on the side of roads or walk paths.
