Strelitzia -OT

There is a range of leaf blade sizes. The immature plants look like regular
regina. The mature plan can have no blade at all to a blade 25% the size of
regina. Some people use the species paucifolia to distinguish these from S.
regina and add var. juncea for the bladeless types. Others consider them
both varieties of S. regina.

Friends,
Just curious, if off topic.
Do seedlings of Strelitzia juncea have any leaf blade at all. ?

I have heard that the first leaf or two will have a blade and
later more mature leaves are totally without a leaf blade, typical
for the "species".

Anyone have experience to share?

Thanks Jim W.
