The Bird of Paradise is a gorgeous tropical plant, and makes for a lovely addition to any tropical garden. It is also known by its scientific name, Strelitzia. It is commonly referred to as a bird of paradise due to the flower and its resemblance to a bird of the same name.

This pin was inspired by my first trip to Maui. Along the Road to Hana you can see a number of Split Leaf Philodendrens climbing trees, forests filled with towering Bamboo, and the bright and beautiful Bird of Paradise surrounded by its lush, dark green leaves. The card back is a photo that I took while I was there. You can also see a few White Birds of Paradise flowers at the base of the card back.

The Pilea peperomioides is also known as the Chinese Money Plant, Pancake, or UFO Plant. My favorite nickname though, is The Friendship Plant.

Native to China, it is believed that a Norwegian missionary took cuttings with him when he returned home in the 1940s. And the way that this plant spread in popularity was through the sharing of its pups (babies). This is also why this plant is also known as the Friendship Plant.

This woody evergreen herb has distinct needle-like leaves and has a number of uses. From the leaves, flowers to the twigs, every part of it can be used for teas, processed into an essential oil, and is also a very important herb in Mediterranean cuisine.

Rosemary was also believed to be a love charm in the Middle Ages. The bride would wear the rosemary as a floral crown, and the groom and wedding guests would all wear a sprig of rosemary.
