This quintessential exotic beauty is known for its flowers that resemble the head of a crested bird or a bird in flight. The orange bird of paradise makes a perfect specimen plant for any garden large or small since it only gets about 5ft wide and about 5ft tall and does not grow out of control. These plants grow in clumps with flowering scapes appearing interspersed within the cluster of leaves.
