S. Nicolai (not nicholii) is more tree-like (mature specimens 20+ feet) than
reginae and the flowers have reddish brown bracts with light mauve to blue
to nearly white petals.
A search for Strelitizia at our collection site will find both, there are
links on each page to image archives which probably have both species - I
have not checked....
