well, imagine the change... I did Amazonian forest - Caracas - Frankfurt in 3 days :-))))

that was 1996 and since then I have never been in the jungle again I really miss it... so, this year I am going to Venezuela, and already told my family I will not stay longer than 2 days in their house

I have that Bird of Paradise . It is the white one that I am Having Problems with, the regular on blooms all the time and I have had the white one for at least 5 years and it hasn't bloomed yet it is about 6' tall and several growths oh well maybe this year.

Beautiful plants! One of my favorite, fell in love with Bird of Paradise during a trip to Costa Rica! I only have a couple of fake metal ones from Pier 1 Imports in my home unfortunately!

Thanks Ramon,these birds have thrown me off to another path, that of birdwatching (another hobbie, just what I needed lol). We have nothing that exotic down here unfortunately. Hummingbirds is as crazy as it gets, though I have seen some very cool birds of prey...off to hunt down some more birds, for pics of course with my still new camera....Geeez I need a new lens

[kavanaru]

he-he, I can tell you... birdwatching (my other hobbie) can sometimes be worst than Orchids LOL

ok, I admit you do not have such exotic things like Birds of Paradise in teh USA, but you do have other great birds there too: warblers, orioles, and all those diffrent grouse species (amazing courtship displays!)

[Swamper]

yeah it is a very consuming hobbie. So far the only "display" I've seen was a bird called a common myna? It did a little dance and song which was pretty cool.
