HAPPY HALLOWEEN FROM SAN DIEGO, CA

Gorgeous.....Where's your carved pumpkin?

Thanks! No pumpkins this year.

Any candy?

No candy, either. I'm on a diet. lol! :>)

Geee, no pumkin, no candies.... hopefully you didn't eat this beautiful strelitzia :)

No flower eating here. lol! :>)

lol

Lovely!

Mine is loving the heat of my woodburner in the living room and putting out another flower stem.

Meanie:

Thanks!

You know how funny that sounds to me? Crazy! lol! :>)

Ha ha Mine is doing the same as Meanie's but not by the woodburner.....its sitting next to the heater in the greenhouse......

Milky:

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.

And I was feeling so chuffed!!!

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!!!!!!!!

36 what, flowers?

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.

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.
