Bird of Paradise Plant (Stelitzia reginae)

Had this since about 2004, in a very large pot in the conservatory, 3 flowers open, more to come.

Beautiful Siris. I still have only leaves as I don't have the light either. Last year I took it to the greenhouse at the nursery from spring till autumn as suggested on here (for the light) and still got nothing happening. I do have some Carl Wilde specials that cheer me up though.

Carl Wilde, (florist at Arley Hall?) or do you mean artificial. I put a large plastic one in the pot till the plant started flowering and the plastic one bleached white. (Large pot read large Tub)
