I did some research, and it turns out that our houseplant is a Bird of Paradise. It has another fantastic leaf about to unfurl and it has been growing steadily. I look forward to it’s first flower in greedy anticipation. It will probably be a month or two before it flowers. My husband says that the flowering is probably dependant on the light cycle. I will post about it when I find out for sure.
About the photo:
My toddler split a couple of the leaves near the base, but we are going to trim those off. My husband says that it will encourage the upward growth of the plant, and I look forward to it.
