GREAT FOR YOU!!!!!! You were meant to have it!

WOW!!!!!!!!!!! Congrats!!

Cagary, would you be willing to share the name of the nursery? I have been looking for that plant. You can contact me privately if you wish.

You oughta take your good luck to Vegas!

Very cool looking bird. Lucky U!

Congratulations!! Being that variegated as an emerging seedling should result in a breathtaking adult. I have a mature variegated White Bird of Paradise but it hasn't produced any blooms yet.

Congrats is right..you really lucked out..I'd call the nursery and thank them over and over, plus tell them about your good fortune..I'd love finding a variegated plant, but that's impossible..Toni

Toni,

I did e-mail him a thank you note and a photo. At the time he gave me the seeds, I bought over $150.00 worth of variegated St. Augustine grass plugs from him so it wasn't like I was just browsing at the nursery and not really buying anything. It was very generous of him to give me a seed head from his variegated BOP.

The variegated St. Augustine grass plugs are filling in nicely. I should have a variegated lawn in my front yard sometime this summer. Here's a photo of a plug.

Cagary, very nice..I think a variegated garden would look fantastic..How tall does the St. Augustine grass grow? Is it an ornamental grass that grows tall? Thanks, Toni

cagary, that is totally cool, in my dreams could i hope to own one. I have e-mailed you twice about the other birds you said you have in 4" pots have you received them? Max. savvy7891@yahoo.com

How long did it take your seeds to sprout? did you use the baggie method?

spiritualcipher,

The seeds sprouted in a couple of weeks. I used the baggie method with bottom heat.

Does anyone know where I could find a cutting of a variegated BOP ? It seems My boyfriend has a taste for hard to find plants. This is such a cool plant. Wow
