My BOP in Vegas is like autism~do you know why? #7
His name is Conrad Birdie
Conrad Birdie ~ now what vintage movie is that name from?
I live in Las Vegas but I’ve always wanted a Bird of Paradise (BOP) because every time we travel to California I love to see them all over. So, on Mother’s Day, when we were in CA to visit our daughter and son-in-law, I got my BOP. As you can see in the picture, Conrad Birdie is a pretty big BOP.
At the nursery, the clerk made two statements and asked if it gave me a clue; BOP’s are tropical plants and you life in a desert does that give me a clue? “Not really,” I replied. BOP’s do not like a real hot sun and Vegas gets up to 115 to 120 in the summer. Does that give you a clue? “Somewhat but I still want the BOP.” My smile was big.
It’s been a month now and my BOP, Conrad Birdie, is alive and well and thriving in Vegas. It has two new leaves that have opened and one on the way. I mist Conrad three to four times a day and one day it shall bloom.
Conrad Birdie will look like this one day.
You see, my Conrad Birdie is a bit like a child with AUTISM. It’s often planted where it technically should not bloom, but given the right conditions, care, loving, and faith, my Conrad and your child will thrive.

CONGRATULATIONS to BEN from Ames, Iowa. He got it right ~ it was Bye Bye Birdie and Conrad was going off to the Army. The movie stared Ann Margaret and Bobby Rydel. Ben was in his high school production. Again, congratulations, Ben!
