    As usual, by Bird of Paradise plants have performed for us all winter. The first blooms opened over the Christmas break and we now have just these 2 left. A taste of the tropics in my conservatory.

    A lovely flower that exemplifies efforts in maintaining a conservatory.

    Thank you,

    Beautiful flowering BOP EJ :D

    I have a white flowering BOP between 12-15 yrs old and it's never flowered for me
    Brighter light and maybe more humidity like what you have in your conservatory is probably what it's lacking :'(
    Do you feed it anything special?

    Nice succulent you have there Philip! It looks nice and healthy :-D
