White Bird of Paradise IS a beautiful plant. I have two, one is already outside and the other will be set out eventually. I have heard that they only bloom once HUGE, so I don't see how you would expect to get it back into the house from that stage. I also have the Orange Bird, a smaller plant. This one IS possible to flower in a container, mine bloomed for the first time. The flower stalks started in October, stalks still lengthening and flowers have not even opened up yet..., so these guys have a really long period of bloom! And, btw, it's still a pretty large plant that has, eventually to be protected. I over winter my Orange Bird and Giant White Bird in a garage and another White Bird in the basement.
