Strelitzia reginae

There is also a yellow variety called “Mandela’s Gold” developed by the Kirstenbosch Botanical Gardens that I plan to try out from seed. At least let me say that I bought a packet of seeds and the directions look straightforward. We’ll see. Meanwhile I remain mesmerized by the blue, gold, pink and green of this beautiful flower.
