Default Pink Bird of Paradise

Your picture shows just how misleading and useless common names are.

The plant has absolutely nothing at all to do with Strelitzia or Heliconia.
It isn't even a monocot.

Its a Caesalpinia, an arborescent legume.

I would suspect that it might be something in the Ginger family rather

than
a Strelitzia.

Does anyone have or has anyone seen Pink Bird of Paradise? I'm

wondering
if they are similar to Red Bird of Paradise except for the color?
