That's AWESOME. Great photo.

I just planted some of those last month. I planted the blue bird of paradise (what you have) and the pink mexican bird of paradise.

My Turk's cap is just starting to germinate ( I peeked in the soil ), it was planted the end of January.

Red torch ginger and Japanese maple has just peaked through the soil.

Pineapple, well only one of the seeds so far it starting to germinate.

a few of the Key limes I planted 4-10-06 has come up along with some questionable (don't know what kind) lemon planted on 4-5-06

Still waiting for Tropical heliconia, White bat flower, Eryngo, Desert rose, Musella lasiocarpa (chinese yellow banana) and many others.

Oh, yeah, I also peeked in on the macadamia, and I am starting to see break through (of the seed it self) so maybe soon we'll have some break through of the soil.

Thanks.

Birds can be a long wait. My greenhouse BOP bloomed for the first time about a month ago, after a three year wait. It is now putting out some more new leaves. The plant has to get big enough. Mine are in a 5-gallon container. What size container is your growing in?- Millet
