Oooh, looks vicious...
does is just look like a claw, or is it really sharp ?

looks like Strelitzia...they belong to the same order...will it fan out in the same manner?

Terratoonie:

It's herbaceous...it's very soft,

Lori:

It grows differently than Strelizia species, however it does belong to the same order: Zingerberales.
