Wow! Lucky you! -
I feel a little bit jealous!! It is gorgeous. -
A beauty, Alice. I have been away from my Florida garden for a while now and am looking forward to getting back to it to see what's in bloom. -
I thought you were a native Floridian Doug Don't tell me your a snowbird lol -
Beautiful. I can't wait for my 2 to start flowering. -
Your bird looks very healthy Alice! It's amazing how long a bloom period the birds have, isn't it?! -
Becky H is that so about the blooming period???
-
Leida R do you remember how long ago I posted pics of my bird of paradise? It's still blooming now. That's a long time!
-
Becky H REALLY??? WOW!!!
-
Like you, I am a transplant, Alice G , but I have been back in New York for a couple of months taking care of some things.
-
ahh ok I thought you were
-
Well Douglas Hunt sky hook some of that cooler weather up there and drag it back to Fla. w/you upon your return..........would you? It's been really hot and humid here; you haven't missed anything.
-
I'll do my best Becky H !
-
Alice G well of course I am jealous, you plant is beautiful. I have 2 different looking birds that are getting old and look green and healthy but haven't bloomed since day 1. They must be fakes. -
What do your plants look like, Sherrie S ?
-
Sherrie I have dwarf birds of paradise and it took 2 years for mine to start blooming I only get maybe 3 birds on each plant.
-
Douglas Hunt you want my honest opinion about my plants? I think they look like crap. Maybe they are not birds of paradise after all. Alice G my plants are much older than your dwarf and mine have had NO birds.
-
Sherrie S: Yes, that's what I meant. Perhaps you do not really have birds. Perhaps you were sold something else as birds. It's been known to happen!
-
Douglas Hunt now that is a very interesting thought.
-
Doe the foliage look like Alice's? Can you post a photo?
-
Douglas Hunt Yes it does look like Alice's (minus the bird). I'll post later today, I'm working on a sinkhole problem right now. NOT A BIG sinkhole, but a problem.
