Default Double Bird-of-Paradise

Our BoP plant is producing mostly double blooms this year. I'm
wondering how ususual that is..? This is the first year of three
owning this plant that we've seen this happen.

See: http://tinyurl.com/thpt for a photo of one of them.

Those are not double blooms. They are two blossoms on the same plant. This is
not unusual.

Thanks, and excuse my ignorance. What would be the difference
between a "double bloom" and "two blossoms"..?

It's just that in the past two years, we've not had this. Maybe the
plant goes through cycles every few years..?

A double blossom is a single flower with modified flower parts.

Two blossoms are two completely separate flowers that happen to appear at
the same time.

Now you can go back to jerking off!!!

I didn't say you were ignorant. Double blooms usually have a fuller bloom on
one blossom. It would have double ruffles, something in that order. Two
blossoms are not unusual as a plant gets older and has more vigor to produce
flowers.
