Strelitzia Nicolai

The Strelitzia nicolai, commonly known as the giant white bird of paradise or wild banana, is a striking tropical plant native to South Africa. It is a close relative of the more familiar Strelitzia reginae (orange bird of paradise), but this species is much larger and less colorful, making it popular for adding a lush, dramatic presence to gardens and indoor spaces.
