Author Message   Scotkat  My Garden Journal Posted on Thursday, April 07, 2005 - 04:41 pm:    I aquired a pk with 7 seeds left from my Dad's neighbour tonight ,in the evening went round to help her plant 400 assort plug plants that had been delivered to her. She had some Bird of paradise seeds left so she passed them on to me to see if I can get them to germinate. She did say they wont flower for 5yrs slow to grow. Looking forward to seeing them germinate. Glad she had a heater on in her greenhouse as its icy cold outside and blowing a severe gale. Snow forecast Friday.

But what a wonderful plant. David, the other CA, 10/17   Scotkat  My Garden Journal Posted on Friday, April 08, 2005 - 03:07 am:    I am so thrilled and hopeful as I have always wanted this CHARMING plant I have a lot of patience David. This is a challenge shall keep you posted of any progress that developed. Scotkat - Scotland, Zone "?"   Eltel  My Garden Journal My Time Posted on Monday, November 28, 2005 - 09:54 am:    Kath, You were told right - they do take a long time to germinate and then flower. I have a S. nicolai, 8 years old, NEVER flowered. S.regina is easier but just as slow. I have several in pots that came originally from Madeira as small plants. They all flower profusely and (wonderfully) in the conservatory, usually around about Christmas time. If you get really desperate let me know. When I repot some in Spring I might be able to find an offset for you. Try this link.

Most are neglected but still manage to bloom. A 15 gl plant goes for about $65.00. I several of the giant version about 15 ft tall with blue and white birds. Ej So.Cal. Zone 10a   Chippy  Posted on Wednesday, November 30, 2005 - 04:09 pm:    I've been growing reginae for a while now and it flowers best in the UK in a greenhouse border I find. But I've planted one plant outside this year and I intend to keep the frost away by covering it up on cold nights. I'll let you know how I get on. Ej, your really lucky to be able to grow these with no problems, temperature wise, especially those giant ones, is that nicolai? I 've not attempted that one, I wish you luck El Tel, eight years old, must be getting BIG now. Chippy - kent Eng., Zone "8a ish"
