My favourite tropical plant is the strelitzia reginae or bird of paradise, that it’s more commonly known as, with a striking flower of orange with a streak of blue/mauve hidden amongst the green foliage.

Thanks Sue, I wanted the blue sky as contrast rather than the other foliage and quite liked the effect. Appreciate your comment 🙂
