Why is it called Birds of Paradise? Because of its resemblance to the showy forest birds known as birds-of-paradise.
The bird of paradise is known as the ultimate symbol of paradise and freedom. Due to its tropical nature, this flower also symbolizes freedom and joy. Although birds of paradise are best known for their bright orange and blue colors, their flowers can also be white.
