Great point Sopas!
In a word - yes, I think so too. And what's even more odd/strange/fascinating is that it's not just the Bird of Paradise, but LOTS of landscape trees and shrubs......the fact they fall in and out of fashion. (I had no idea until I read something about this, and, sure enough, it made sense).
Here's one that used to be everywhere. Hollywood, or Twisting, Juniper. TONS of these were planted in the 50s and 60s. Lots of older ones are still around, but I almost never see these planted new. (If you wanted one from Home Depot you would have to special order it.)

It of course is the official flower of the City of Los Angeles. Very apropos, then, for Union Station:
