If you remember, before Christmas I was very excited about my Bird of Paradise plant finally putting out a flower bud after seven years of nurturing it from seed. Well, three months on and I'm still excited but more than a little impatient! The bud has grown and is now about 4 feet tall and has to be supported by a cane and the head of it is getting fatter and slowly turning orange but I still have no idea how long it is going to take before it opens. In the meantime, it is getting more and more difficult not to bash it in passing or when covering and uncovering the canary whose cage is hanging directly above it. I just hope after all this anticipation the resulting flower will be worth it and last as long as the bud has!I have been working hard this week on various projects but unfortunately cannot show them as yet as they are commissions for birthdays and need to remain secret.
It feels like time for a giveaway soon......once the commissions are complete, watch this space....

Fingers crossed the flower will be as pretty as all the anticipation. :-) And that it won't be long now. :-) Can't wait to see all your new commissions.
Thats amazing to have grown a huge plant like that from seed, not suprised that you are impatient to see the flower!
P.x
