Bird of paradise

I'm having the same problem...my birds of paradise don't flower at all. I tried it both inside and outside (when it's in season). Also, does anyone else's orchid only produce one a day? I only ever get one orchid each new day and I don't know if this is by design or if it's a bug.

That's better than real life. In real life you are lucky if you get one bloom a year. They are very, very hard to grow a true Orchid.

In my present game my Sim is a new gardener - as they recommended playing the overhaul gardening with a newbie - so I have not got her growing any yet.

In my older save I had a sims that had grown all the plants - but orchid usually just got two or three flowers - usually two and less often then other flowering plants. But in the overhaul they made flowering less as most simmers felt it was too easy to make money in gardening - so I understand flowers were dialed back some in most plants.

It would make more sense for the more exotic plants to flower less and be much more difficult to grow. I know the new patch we just got did fix a few issues with gardening - so maybe it is better now.
