Without a doubt the fascinating Strelitzia is our most exotic Flower of the Month yet. The flower, commonly known as a bird of paradise flower, is native to South Africa. Nowadays it is grown all over the world.
The largest species (Stelitzia nicolai) can grow up to 10 meters high, while most other species are between 2 to 6 meters high. The Strelitzia's flowers are produced in a horizontal inflorescence and emerge from a stout spathe.

Many years ago I had the priveledge of attending a seminar by a floral designer where he challenged the group to pay more attention to what was being discarded. He said he could walk into the average floral shop and make several nice designs by using only the remains in the trash can. Today we find ourselves asking the same questions. When we look at the shrink (trash) in the floral department, could a portion of that be saved and made sellable? Can we turn the trash into cash?
