The first year that I've grown this, and it's my new favourite thing!
A week behind Sues' but mine has now bloomed!!

I don't blame you!
They're supposed to thrive in chalky soil and full sun - mine have neither!

You can always add a piece of black board chalk when planting I have read that.

I didn't know that.....
I'll be buying more and trying different spots. The other thing that I've discovered is that they dislike being disturbed.

Bit like Peony s then they don't like being disturbed either. I only found out about the chalk off the net the lady that grows them in her garden and sells them on ebay

More patience than me then!!!

lol it's cheaper this way that's all, and when they flower i get that good feeling.

I agree with the feeling of satisfaction - seven years from seed and I think that my Bird of Paradise is about to put out its' first flower spike!!

excellent that is great news, i've got one that's 6 months old now from seed and mandela's gold sown 1 month ago.

I'm reminding myself that it could just be a deformed leaf, but I am quite optimistic!
