We all know that the Birds of Paradise are a group of birds that mostly found in Asia and Australia. But there is plant (belongs to the family Strelitziacea) that blooms with a flower, also named as Bird of Paradise. The name Bird of Paradise comes from the flower shape which resembles a birds beak and head plumage. Is it just a co-incidence or the mimicry-loving nature's play?
There were no Bird of Paradise plant in Bangladesh since 2006 and then a nature-loving Bangladeshi guy (I apologize as I forgot the name) bought this plant (most probably from Canada) and planted in the garden in front of Bangla Academy. I read this news in a local Daily News paper couple of years back. If any one have any updates regarding Bird of Paradise in Bangladesh, please let us also know.
