One of the most fascinating plants is the Bird of Paradise. Wikipedia describes it as "Strelitzia reginae is a monocotyledonous flowering plant indigenous to South Africa. Common names include Strelitzia, Crane Flower or Bird of Paradise."

My wife and I were walking along the bluffs of Laguna Beach last winter and took this photograph of this magnificent flower.
