@aussiearoids OOOH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Soo nice!!!!! Although very similar to Travellers Palm, it certainly looks different enough.

Have you ever seen Strelitzia nicolai or S. caudata in the tropics actually grow?

People do have them growing around here......but personally I wouldn't bother growing something that is commonly used as an 'imposter' tropical down south.
