How do "Bird of Paradise" do in this part of Florida?

[gfmucci]

I had this plant in S. Florida 30 years ago where it did great. Any experience with this plant in this area?

Mine is amazing, produced about 30 flowers last year!

Was just at a friend's last night -- her bird of paradise are beautiful! She also has a white bird of paradise that is several years old and has never bloomed. So, if anyone has any tips that I can pass along to her, it would be appreciated.

Hi, I accidentally deleted an email I received. The question was about the Lawn and Garden service that we have.

We do not have a contract with her for any of the services she does. When we are in TV we do, what she normally does.

There are no annual contracts for weeding - cost is $10 per month

Pest control is $20 per month

Pruning, trimming and clean up is billed at $40 per hour, but you are charged in 15 minute increments.

Fertilizer application is based on actual quantities used.

They all sell trees and plants. I found the cost of there plants lower than in some of the nurseries I visited while in TV.

i think she has been invited to speak this November at the Garden Clubs - one in Hacienda Center.

Hope this helps.
