Attaching a collage of Sterlitzia nicolai ( BIRD OF PARADISE ). I saw this beauty for the first time in Loyed Botanic garden at Darjelling in 1965. Next time I saw it in a flower show at Dehradun.

Bimal Ji,

Isn't this Strelitzia reginae, comparatively short plants with orange flowers?

Strelitzia nicolai are taller plants with white flowers.

Aarti

Thanks for catching it, Promila

I did not read Bimaldas note above

I just looked at the picture

my mistake

The distinctions are :

S. Nicolai are huge plants

about 7 to 10 feet tall

blue black bract and white sepals

and blue stamen with white stigma sticking out

and they begin to look messy after a day or two

and S. reginae plants are shorter,

flowers with yellow sepals, green bracts

and blue stamen with white stigma sticking out

they seem to maintain their form much longer and don't make a visual mess.

regards

Ushadi
