My bird of paradise grows but dose not produce any flowers dose anyone have any ideas on what to do

Splicing plants is like the worst thing and the biggest waste of time ever now.I've had a plant spliced to produce orchids for almost two sim years and it has nevr not once given me one. I ended up spending around $100,000 on seed packets to get one.If you can get the romance festival to coincide with the season the birds of paradise grow in then you can pick them there. thats what i did

I was lucky enough to have both of the rarer flowers in a household stocked up before Seasons, but if those plants do have trouble with actually growing, I may have to keep mine stocked for a lot longer...

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.

Here's some tips that might (surprisingly) increase your chances of growing a Bird-of-Paradise:1) Plant it from a flower, not graft it: You'll have much of a higher chance to get the flower you want, if you know, it's the only thing growing on the plant. Try the Romance Festival from CL during its growing seasons to pick some or plop some down from the Gallery since it's not considered "cheating" if you will.2) Know the flower's growing season: Birds-of-Paradise are Spring/Summer flowers, and the plants take 36 sims hrs to grow. Take the time to wait patiently during these seasons, for they will not bloom in Fall/Winter.3) Stay on the lot you planted the flower in for the entire growing seasons: I presume you'll be planting in your home, so you'll probably make your sims homebodies for the entirety of Spring/Summer.4) Extend the growing season lengths if you have to: If you find you're losing time in your growing season, why not extend the season length so that it has a longer time to grow at least one.5) Plant way more than one plant as soon as you get more: Obviously it will expand the chances of you getting more flowers if you have more of the same plants, and following the above suggestions, you'll probably get a Bird-of-Paradise eventually. ;)

I'm downloading a mod to fix mine. This is total rubbish EA! I NEVER asked for this. And no it has nothing to do with it being the wrong season, it's overtuned and broken like crazy. Fix it please as well as the broken Fireleaf bug.

Hmmm. You can try downloading my ‘Botanical Bakery 2.0’ in my gallery. It has the flower plants in it.

...Also in my gallery there is a lot called ‘Bayside Home & Greenhouse’ that has the flowers, fruits and veggies. In it there are a few spliced plants. The ones spliced before the seasons expansion produce all. The spliced plants in it that are from after the seasons expansion say they also have cow plant and bonsai seeds but they never grow those. I kept those two hoping they will fix splicing in a patch. Here’s hoping!
