DO YOU KNOW LA: QUIZ ANSWER
ANSWER: A) Bird of Paradise
The official city flower of Los Angeles is the Bird of Paradise (Strelitzia reginae). It was designated in 1959 because of its striking, tropical appearance that matches LA’s image as a sunny, glamorous paradise. Although the similar-sounding “Bird-of-Paradise” option (C) looks almost identical in the list, the city’s official resolution specifically names “Bird of Paradise” (two words, no hyphen) as the flower #1 on the list. The beautiful orange-and-blue blooms are everywhere in LA landscaping, from medians to hotel gardens.
