The humble Bird of Paradise (also known as Strelitza) is a veteran in my household, it never wavers despite my neglect and my current one is approaching its 6th year of surviving my care 🧚 It is a tropical plant and some species of it are bred not to flower (strelitza reginae), but for their impressive banana-esk foliage. Mine is called hubert (unfortunately not pictured above) and he is my no.1 🙌
My runner up is the funky Calamondin (or Calamansi), a citrus fruit plant thats known for its miniture hybridity of mandarin orange and kumquat 🍊 My Calamondin has been a feature of my windowsill for several years now and its bright fruit always brings compliments, especially in this summer as its gone mental 😆.
