My seed raised Strelitzia both flowered a couple of months ago for the first
time at the age of 6.
I think this was helped by having been in a glasshouse last summer, and not
getting a great deal of water, so they dried often and really cooked, this
must have ripened them.
Now I am wondering when they will start to throw "Pups" and become clumps
rather than single plants.
