The bird-of-paradise
flower, or crane flower as it is sometimes known, is native to
the southern and eastern parts of the Cape Province and northern
Natal in South Africa, where it grows wild on river banks and in
scrub clearings in coastal areas. It was first introduced into
Britain in 1773 by Sir Joseph Banks, then the unofficial
director of the Royal Gardens at Kew (as they were known at that
time). He named the exotic-looking plant Strelitzia in
honour of Queen Charlotte, wife of George III and Duchess of
Mecklenburg-Strelitz, who lived at Kew for many years.
