The museum displayed the weathered uniform of a Strelitz, reminding visitors of Moscow's turbulent past.

The Strelitzes gathered on the veranda to watch the summer storm roll in.

The conservatory's strelitziaceous specimens, with their bold leaves and striking blooms, became the highlight of the botanical exhibition.

The botanist cultivated several Strelitzi in the greenhouse to study variations in their petals.

The strelitzias along the garden path bloomed in bright orange and blue, attracting a steady stream of hummingbirds.

A single strelitzia brightened the corner of the conservatory with its dramatic orange-and-blue bloom.
