Mandela's Gold by redy4et

Mandela's Gold

Mandela's Gold is a rare yellow bird of paradise (botanical name Strelitzia). Botanists at Kirstenbosch National Botanical Gardens in Cape Town started with just seven plants in the 1970s. Today we toured the gardens and enjoyed a delicious lunch on the outdoor patio.
Beautiful flower that I know as bird of paradise. Great capture. Glad you are enjoying your trip :)
