Very nice! I saw the yellow form in Disney World Orlando 3 years ago and they were beautiful, but I went there this past summer and they were gone and replaced! I was really upset, Im not sure why they would replace such a nice and rare color of Bird of paradise. I guess maybe it was the cold that killed them off, but then again, I still see bougainvilleas, bismarkias, and even plumerias growing pretty happily in orlando so I doubt it would be cold enough to kill a Birds of Paradise unless the yellow form is more tender than the rest.
Thanks for sharing! Im sure it was worth the wait!
