How do "Bird of Paradise" do in this part of Florida?
I had this plant in S. Florida 30 years ago where it did great. Any experience with this plant in this area?

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.

Re: How do "Bird of Paradise" do in this part of Florida?
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. Fernview Farm - Sandra and James Harrison 352 245 7905 email fernviewnursery@aol.com i think she has been invited to speak this November at the Garden Clubs - one in Hacienda Center. Hope this helps.
