Maybe they meant "Not Giant" bird of paradise?

Hi Port a Bella, I think there is such a thing. We just returned from Puerto Vallarta Mexico and my daughter and I were admiring the flowers and plants where we stayed. There was a small plant that she pointed out and said it looked like a bird of paradise but the leaves were much smaller and the flower as well. The flower was solid orange and not as colorful but it was a charming plant. Now I would like to go to the Target here in Tucson to see if they have it.

I was visiting a friend in L.A. and I definitely saw some "dwarf" bird of paradise. These plants were not "stunted", they were healthy and blooming, about half the size overall of the standard reginae.(I currently have both the standard reginae and nicolai.) I tried to find the dwarf/reginae on line but with no luck. It seems that some sites refer to the standard reginae as "dwarf" only because is is small relative to the nicolai. If anyone can find the true dwarf, I would LOVE to know where.
