They are called Strelitzia and come in various varieties and colours - easily available in most garden centres. If young or cuttings, I believe they can take several years to produce flowers - up to 7 I have read. We had some planted nearly three years ago and this is the first year that they have produced anything.
Hi
Thank you for that information. Least I know their Latin name now. Did realise they would come in different varieties and colours.
Need to buy a mature plant so it flowers for me.
Thanks

This beautiful plant is easy to grow by dividing the rhizome roots.
Happy days 😊

Hi
The plant which I believe is possibly a bird of paradise looks quite mature at the base but only about 35cm high. Read they flower late September onwards so watching with anticipation.
If it is I will definitely decide the rhizomes. Thank you
