Bird of paradise leaves are out in full glory!

I might have written about this earlier in the month, but my Bird of Paradise plant had two leaves come out in recent weeks. The smaller leaf 'matured' early, and it looked like it'd be short, but it's been growing taller and taller. The second, much larger leaf took a whole lotta sweet time fully unfurling, and then unfurled in half for like 10 days. Couple of days ago I tried forcing it to furl more fully but that didn't work. Gave it a waggle yesterday, and now the leaf is fully open. The other side was still curled, but come today and it's fully out, almost flat. The color is still bright green/yellowish, but it'll green up soon enough after several weeks of late-September sunlight. My plant now has 14 leaves, which is really bushy for the relatively small plant that it is.
