Description
Like the jaws of the alien creature in the movie Alien, the beautiful Hawaiian tropical flower, bird of paradise, opens its three pronged seed pod as it dries. These 3 inch long pods are full of strange looking, but beautiful seeds. Each seed has a silky black covering with a little hairy orange top. One of the most unusual seed pods I have ever seen. Note: I planted these seeds, but It took about one year before the seeds opened. I now have many bird of paradise plants growing in my yard here in Hawaii. I love happy endings!
