Bird of Paradise

"Laura pays Mrs. Latch, accepts a bird of paradise from her yard. " (191)

Birds of paradise were mentioned in Mrs. Dalloway as describing the curtains. The bird and flower both have vibrant colors and excessive shapes. The plant shows that life is beautiful and little things such as plants can be enough to settle ones mind. It is appropriate for Mrs. Latch to give Laura this plant because Laura is doubting if she is happy with her settled life.
