Dwarf Strelitzia - Slightly OT

Jim, if you're talking about S. juncea 'Elliott's Knee High', which comes
from SA, its leaves are 30cm high and it flowers to 40cm. I've had a piece
for three years now and it still hasn't flowered, but this might be because
it is kept in a cold greenhouse and it can get temps as low as -3C. Leaves
still persist at these temps and are not damaged.
Dear Dave;
No cv name attached to the plant in question. It sounds very
interesting and it should do better here at least in summer with our
heat.
Anyone else know this plant?
Jim W.
