Description
I have had this plant for about 20 years. I have split the clump and given offshoots to friends.
It always flowers at the dreariest time of the year, so you look forward to it blooming.
I also have a Strelitzia Nicoli (Giant Bird of Paradise)only one year old from seed. I suppose it may flower one day and fill the conservatoty.
I cannot resist a challenge when I see a packet of exotic seeds?

I've had mine for 4 years and it dies back each winter. It never seems to get pig and hardy enough the following summer to bloom. This is a very healthy and happy one and I adore the full crown on it.

Those grow nearly like weeds here in Southern California. I love the cheerful colors and blooms. The giants get over 20 feet at some places here. Superb capture. Bunny

THIS IS ONE OF MY FAVORITE PLANTS/FLOWERS. SO EXOTIC AND STRUCTURAL TOO. I THOUGHT WHEN I MOVED FROM NYC THAT I WOULD FINALLY HAVE THIS PLANT HERE IN LAS VEGAS. UNFORTUNATELY IT DOESN'T LIKE THE GREAT HEAT THEN THE COLD DURING WINTER. SO I HAVE TO LIVE WITH PHOTOS FROM YOU WONDERFUL PHOTOGRAPHERS.
