Carol, my bird of paradise are pretty bound in their pots. I'm thinking it is just an age issue on my end, but they seem to just not prefer blooming in pots for some reason. Do you have bird of paradise in pots that bloom for you?
I am not an early bird or a night owl--I am some form of permanently exhausted pigeon
