Also know as the Great White Bird. The
White Bird of Paradise adds a tropical touch to any
installation. Unlike its cousin the Orange Bird, the White
Bird rarely flowers if at all. It's kept mainly for its large
glossy leaves that tend to weep a bit with age. Here's
a picture of an Orange Bird's blossom. The White Birds flower is
identical except the petals are white.
We
have White Bird of Paradise available in 10" containers about 4
foot tall thru large specimen plants from 6 to 10 feet in height. |
