ravenala or giant bird of paradise ?

Jun 25, 2004 2 Replies

I thought I bought a ravenala (ravenala madagascariensis), but now I have doubts it could be a giant bird of paradise (strelitzia nicolai)... Any ideas on how to identify it correctly ?



(The leaves are fan-shaped, so it is not strelitzia alba/augusta, and are bigger than those of strelitzia reginae... So I'm left with ravenala and gbop.)


gbop? Is that anything like bebop or shebop?

Maybe you can wait until it blooms?

Do you have a very high ceiling?

LOL!

I meant, giant bird of paradise (strelitzia nicolai) ;)

Regular ceiling (°_°) I heard it blooms once in three years too... Or something near that...
