Default Strelitzia reginea 'Mandella's Gold' Flower, Finally!

After years of waiting, my 'Mandella's Gold' Bird of Paradise has flowered. I grew it from seed. There is already another flower stalk coming up. For those who might not know, the difference is its yellow flower instead of the more common orange.

Actually it took over 6 years from seed to flower. What really helped was finally moving some of the plants from pots to my garden. Once they were in the ground, they started growing quickly and produced a flower.

I have seeds for several BOP's, but don't have the Mandella's Gold. It is surely a beautiful flower and one which I will add to my wish list. I wonder how soon it might have flowered if placed in the garden after its first year? Great job!
