Does anyone have any information regarding the possibility of crossing Strelitzia nicolai with S. reginae or if anyone's already done this? I would think that the result would be beautiful.

Excellent question!

And, alas, no answer.

The only reference I found to any kind of strelitzia hybrid was on the Wikipedia link regarding a hibe' between S. regina and S. augusta.

My large white BOP is putting out a bloom and I have access to the orange/purple flowered ones pollen. I'm surprised no one has done one of these crosses yet.

Hi Jim,

I have the 2 species in the garden. As they were blooming at the same time, i made crossing pollinisation. The "fruits" are here now, and i am waiting for the seeds!

Hi guys,

If i could i would try to cross strelitzia with ravanela pollen, why not?

But here in France there's no ravanela.

Ciao. :winkie:

Curiosity got the best of me. Let's see if either sets seeds. I'll try to go up on my roof a few times each week to continue crossing pollinating while nicolai is in bloom

I feel like a hybrid exists. In my days of bored research I know there is one at least, but I can’t recall where I read about it. Good luck to you either way, surely it can’t be that hard.
