Bird of Paradise plant finally flowers after 23 years

Bird of Paradise Flower

Grown from a seed I purchased in Tenerife in 1985, this Bird of Paradise plant has produced a flower at last - I’m such a proud dad.

Beautiful picture. I also enjoyed your comment about being a proud “Dad” since I tend to anthropomorphise almost everything including appliances.

I am planning to engrave a knife with a Bird of Paradise theme and found yours among others in Google Images. Twenty three years appears to have been worth the wait. Marian

Well done - mine ended up getting binned. I think I started mine more recently than you too…
