good morning all, I grew this easily from from seed 2yrs ago but it's been downhill from there. it gets a certain amount of foliage and then it seems to shrivel up. at the moment it hasn't any leaves so i've cut the stem back. it's borderline hardy so i don't think the cooler weather is affecting it, i'm stumped and would love to get it to flower but at the moment i'm tempted to throw it on the compost heap  |

i give up, mine is an orange version rita You are quoting the url from the Google Image Search page Beanie. That's why it's not working properly. You need to open the website where the image is hosted and then post that url. I'm guessing that this is the link....  www.delange.org/BirdOfParadiseRed/BirdOfParadiseRed.htmBy the way, I've deleted the two posts with the defective links as they were stretching the page width. |
