There is a lot of identification problems with the Alba and Nicolai. It is a little difficult if
you do not know what you are looking for. The difference is: The flower is also white with a light
blue "tongue" and it sits in a purplish bract. The Alba has lighter colour leaves, whereas the
Nicolai has blue-green leaves. Leaves can be 600mm wide and over 1-2m long, flowers can be upto
300-350mm long and more rounded at the end.
Propagation and Cultural Conditions: Same as the Reginae and Nicolai.
