This regal beauty goes by the name “Bird of Paradise” because of its flower that looks like one (It’s rare that they flower indoors but with a green thumb you can make it happen). Popular among interior designers, this large upright plant gives a tropical flair to your space as its glossy banana-shaped leaves fan out from long stalks.
