Bird Of Paradise Flourishes as Icicles Hang Outside

This Bird of Paradise has bloomed for years, this summer it spent time outside, at the end of the season we cut away many roots, split it and repotted. It has flourished and has produced over a half dozen beautiful flowers this winter, even with the icicles outside.

My contribution is digging, cutting, picking up and moving this 100 pound pot around.
