There’s a lot of this plant growing in our backyard – thanks to my brother who brought it home from somewhere. Commonly known as Strelitzia, Crane Flower or Bird of Paradise (of course, there are real Bird of Paradise who flies.) According to Wikipedia, Bird of Paradise flowers are associated with liberty, magnificence, and good perspective. And though I’m not sure, I think this is the flower that Superman offered to Lois Lane the morning after the night he brought her in his Fortress of Solitude… 🙂
