Birds of Paradise

That's lovely, pete. As you know, as I do, they do tolerate minimal frost. Lucky you.

Mine is still in it's previous life ... whatever that be ...

 

That's lovely, pete, and I'm quite jealous at the moment. Mine are starting to bloom yet again and then die halfway through ... ??? The dwarfes are all still there and look like more coming .... :eek:

 

Just an update, this is a big one.

 

I dislike you, pete, as well you know.

Mine is being it's usual misfit self. T'other half has suggested that our S nicolai is coming down from the deck (three new leaves this year plus a new shoot, soon to be photographed) and misfit is being uprooted and put up on deck and S nicolai going in it's place in the ground.

The wind is too strong up on deck and S nick is suffering and every leaf is shredded, but that's normal here. Poor dward won't notice. :(

This is obviously after the builders leave us in peace so we can make these moves, besides our household moves ... :eek:

 

Could be a good move, although both would like it down in the ground, but I suppose you dont have the space... bear in mind that,my plant has been planted two years, and thats its first flower.
Yours would probably establish quicker, but disturbance is not good for these and they only improve with age.
Thats what I find anyway.

 

Please don't talk to me about improving with aga ....

... but I'm doing okay!
