Plant ID Please
Unfortunately I've no pic at the moment but hope my description will enable
someone to ID it. There is a large fan of spiky bluey green leaves (similar to iris) together with a central stem which is now some 6' high. The stem has opened out into some 10 sections alternately left and right of the stem. I do recall an orange flower on it last year - but it certainly didn't reach the height it is at now - and that was the first time it had flowered since we moved here in 2001. I did wonder if it could be a strelitzia or heliconia but the leaves seem wrong - according to my research if it was one of these, then it would have "banana plant" leaves - which this certainly doesn't. Hope someone can help. Jeanne |
