STRELITZIA REGINAE 'MANDELA'S GOLD'

Two of the Yellow Bird-Of-Paradise were born and they would be proudly showing off their crowns soon. From the Strelitziaceae Family, this is a cultivar of the Strelitzia reginae.

Its other common names include Yellow Strelitzia and Yellow Crane Flower. The cultivar appears to be smaller, more vibrantly coloured and free-flowering compared to the species form.

They should be grown in open sun and well drained areas for best display. Check out the links below for reference on the cultivar:
