Hi, Tommy,
Thank you for the clarification about the proper growth/flowering conditions for Strelitzia nicolai (Giant BOP). Reading this thread has been a very educational experience for me.
Hi, Linda,
Thank you for sharing with me your experience with Strelitzia reginae and your knowledge of Strelitzia nicolai. By the way, your S. juncea (Narrow-Leaved BOP) is gorgeous. Its narrow leaves are very different and unique.
Rae
