Yellow Bird of Paradise – Baha’i Gardens, Haifa, Israel

The Yellow Bird of Paradise – Strelitzia reginae "Mandela’s Gold" – is a rare, yellow form of the famous orange Bird of Paradise. This spectacular cultivar has flaring, yellow sepals and blue petals reminiscent of a crested tropical bird. Related to Heliconias and Bananas, the Yellow Bird of Paradise looks similar to the orange form, but it slightly smaller, growing to 4 feet tall. This South African native eventually multiplies into a large colony of plants several feet across. It blooms throughout the year in mild climates. The tall flower stalks rise above the foliage, with a beak-like spathe growing outward, about 6 inches in length. The bright yellow sepals spread out to invite birds to perch on the blue petals, which contain nectar. The blooms make very long lasting cut flowers. "Mandela’s Gold" was named in honor of South African statesman, Nelson Mandela.

Since the 8th century of the common era, the Japanese have held flower viewing gatherings, or hanami, under mature trees such as these. In the past, they wrote poems and offered sake to the spirits – kami – that lived in the trees to assure abundant harvests. Today, while many people in Japan and elsewhere look forward to picnics and parties under the cherry trees, just pausing to admire the blossoms is "doing hanami." These two trees are weeping forms of the Higan cherry.

"Fudo" – Brooklyn Botanic Garden, New York, New York

Fudo is the name given to this bonsai Sargent Juniper. Considered to be between 600 and 1,000 years old, the tree was reportedly found in 1910 by the famous bonsai tree hunter Tahei Suzuki and was first wired by Kinsaku Saida, said to be the greatest wiring master of all time. Making its first public appearance in 1929, the bonsai received the first prize – and promptly vanished. Its owner at the time was a Japanese oil magnate who was afraid that exhibitions would spoil the tree. A special place deep inside his mansion was built for the "Phantom Shimpaku" (as it would be called by people who saw the tree during its only exhibition). In 1946, having survived the war, the tree was purchased by Yoshimatsu Hattori and received the name of "Fudo." The name comes from the "God of Fire Fudo," an imaginary guardian of the Buddha against all evils, standing amid burning flame without moving. "Fudo’s" appearance suggested swirling flames.

Sadly, the tree died in 1971, some months after arriving in the United States. It remains preserved at the Brooklyn Botanic Garden where it remains inspirational. A photograph taken in 1970 in Japan "shows the lower branch, where all the trouble apparently began, not showing any visible change, but the foliage on that branch was thinner than the rest of the foliage."
