My grandmother’s 50 year old bird of paradise finally flowered after 10 years in my care
This plant has been with my family for about 50 years. My grandmother grew it from a cutting and when her health declined and she could no longer live at home, I took it in. That was 10 years ago.
Since then it’s survived three house moves with me. It doesn’t flower often, so every bloom feels like a nice surprise and this one especially so given everything it’s been through with me.
Sharing because I’m ridiculously proud of it.
