Tropicals & Tender Perennials: White Bird of Paradise?, 1 by hcmcdole

I let my white BOP (in a 24 inch pot) out last winter because I hated carrying it back and forth into the basement where winter claimed it. It would put out new leaves every summer and then they usually were so ugly by the next year that I ended up cutting those off. Anyway, good riddance. White BOP would be nice in a tropical climate in the ground but it just doesn't make a good houseplant. Too large and too ugly.

I have the regular BOP that I don't mind carrying in and out of the garage because at least it blooms and stays at a managable size.

White BOP (2001 - 2005 RIP).
