I hadn't noticed this giant strelitzia before. Well that is to say, I hadn't recognised it as a strelitzia, until I noticed the flowers today. About 20 ft high with a paperbark behind it on Whale Beach Road. And of course, when you notice one, you notice dozens.
I took lots of photos, but this one showed the wonderful plaited habit of the fanning stems, which lie in the one plane. I saw it in at least 4 gardens, looking splendid. (Garden plant, introduced from South Africa.)
Once more, without my camera, I would have been entirely blind to it.
