That's great! They like full sun and heat. My plant has about 3 dozen flowers on it right now (it in too much shade). The millions of large ones around town, in full sun have 60 or more flowers.

So, so sorry! I didn't mean to rain on your parade.

No probs - I'll be done sulking in a couple of days!!!!

aawwww! LOL! :>)
At least your Bird-of-Paradise is blooming. I know it can be a challenge to get one to bloom in your climate.

Second flower spike emerged (or I noticed it) yesterday! Going to be good. I'll soon be up to 36!!!!!!!!
13 Nov, 2012
36 what, flowers?
13 Nov, 2012
Absolutely! I'm on a roll now and will soon have three dozen on mine too!

Well, since I posted this pics many more flowers have come up. lol! I'll have to get a photo of the whole plant soon.
The area of my plant where I removed several dozen leaves, the leaves all grew back this summer and there's many flower in the same spot. I need to cut them back out again. I took a pics of the many flower in the area back on Halloween.
You're plant sounds like it's on a roll.

Hope springs eternal! Odds are though that two or three spikes are the best that I can realistically hope for.
13 Nov, 2012
I figured! lol! :>)
Plants in pots tend to bloom less than the ones in the ground. It doesn't grow as big in a pot, either.
