Maybe it´s because of all the snow we still have outside, but I suddenly felt the urge to buy some new plants for our home. One of them is this big “Strelitzia Nicolai” (or better knows as the “giant white bird of paradise” or “wild banana”).
I saw this plant everywhere when I was in Los Angeles in February, both inside and outside, and I dreamt of having one in my own house. So when I found this one in a local flower shop last week, I just had to buy one! It´s beautiful, right? And it fits perfectly in this corner of our living room I think.
I´m not good with having much colors here in my home, but I think green plants are a nice way to bring some color and life to a home. A little tip if you have a white, grey and black home : )

It looks beautiful in your home, Nina! We have these growing everywhere here as well, but I never get tired of their beautiful green leaves and majestic flowers! This summer has been hot and dry here in Sydney (in fact we are still having temperatures up to 30C), so I’ve kept all my plants outside, because there have been a lot of little curious bugs around who love the summer heat AND the plants! 😀 Have a lovely week! xx
Thank you, Maria! You are lucky to have these plants around you all year around.
Seems like you have gotten all the heat that we are missing up north.. 🙂 Let´s hope it will evens out soon, so you can move your pkants inside again, and we can move them out..haha.
Oh I love that plant as well, it looks gorgeous in that beautiful corner of your home!
Yes, it´s very beautiful! It´s nice when you finally find a plant that you have been looking for a long time..
Flott! Hvor får man kjøpt en så fin plante her hjemme?
Ja, den er virkelig flott! Denne kjøpte jeg på blomsterbutikken som ligger rett ved siden av Bolina på Stabekk. De hadde kun 2 stk, men mulig de kan bestille flere evt. 🙂 Ellers har jeg nå også hørt at de selger de på Paleet i Oslo ( Floriss ).
Har sett dem i mindre variant på Plantagen.
