Exotic flowers

HELICONIA

This unreal looking exotic has a pinkish sheath edged with yellow and green. These large bracts make spectacular and long lasting flowers arrangements.

OCTOPUS or UMBRELLA TREE

This is a member of Panax family from Australia. The blooms are peculiar with long spreading arms that suggest the octopus. First they are greenish-yellow, then light pink and then deep red.

FLOWERING BANANA

Hawaiians call this Maria. Each banana plant bears one bunch then dies and the new shoots around the base grow into another tree to replace the one that dies.

BIRD OF PARADISE

The exotic coloring and looks of these flowers is undoubtedly know to all. The tall stalks look like the neck of a bird topped by lovely head with a long beak and crest. This beak is a pointed sheath, greyish-blue in color. The crest of the bird is made up of flowers lifting out of this sheath.
