Here the lone species of Strelitziaceae- traveller's tree  from Aarey road, Mumbai. Are the fan like heads the flowers?

Rashida.

Some one on the group had written abou 6 months back, that when the inflorence of this plant opens some blue cotten is seen at the base. I tried to see it evertime when i saw the infloresence of travelers palm, icould not see it.
Now in Rashidajisphotos also I am unable to see it. Is it species variation?
Experts pl explain
Thanks
Madhuri
