About ten years ago we bought a large bird of paradise in a pot. We kept it by the front door for a couple of years. It never bloomed and grew taller than the house. We planted it by a brick wall in the yard. I never saw it bloom and since I wanted a bird of paradise we bought a smaller one and it blooms beautifully every year. I sort of forgot about the first bird of paradise. Last year I walked out to take a closer look at it and say dried blooms from at least two past summers. So this year I wasn't going to let it bloom without me seeing it. I kept looking and from a distance I saw what I thought were dead blooms. When taking a closer look...they are white. I didn't know about white bird of paradise. Here are some of the photos I took.
