Descripción del producto

Fresh cut Heliconias,Strelitzia reginae.
This flower is commonly known as the Bird of Paradise due to the resemblance it has to the orange colored feather crest of an exotic bird from Southeast Asia. The plant belongs to the Strelitziaceae family and is native to South Africa. The gender name is dedicated to Charlotte of Mecklembourg-Strelitz, wife of King George III of England. It's usually grown in warm tropical climates and in some cases greenhouses as ornamental plants. Additionally, because of its rigid stems, it is often used in flower arrangements. It has long thick roots that it uses to nourish itself and possesses thick concave leaves of greenish-blue-gray color. From the spathe, the hard beak-like head, three orange sepals emerge followed by three blue shiny petals. The plant blooms several times a year and it is recommended that it be planted in groups so that it is always producing colorful flowers.
