Is it outside or inside?

i've got both flowers growing in my main household's garden, and they produce just fine. not many at a time (i believe both get 3 flowers a day, some days just 2). not sure what the deal is and why so many others have problems with them
do you use mods at all? do you have a beehive anywhere near the plants?

The plant list starts about half way down the page.

I've had a plant spliced to produce orchids for almost two sim years and it has nevr not once given me one. I ended up spending around $100,000 on seed packets to get one.
If you can get the romance festival to coincide with the season the birds of paradise grow in then you can pick them there. thats what i did
But spending §1000 to maybe get a bird of paradise isn't realistic for a lot of Sims players. I have one spliced plant plus two full Bird of Paradise plants from rare seeds, but haven't gotten a single flower. I've got all my flowers indoors now (built a small conservatory off the back of my house) and still nothing. (Also still need a crocus and a snowdrop.)

That's better than real life. In real life you are lucky if you get one bloom a year. They are very, very hard to grow a true Orchid.
In my present game my Sim is a new gardener - as they recommended playing the overhaul gardening with a newbie - so I have not got her growing any yet.
In my older save I had a sims that had grown all the plants - but orchid usually just got two or three flowers - usually two and less often then other flowering plants. But in the overhaul they made flowering less as most simmers felt it was too easy to make money in gardening - so I understand flowers were dialed back some in most plants.
It would make more sense for the more exotic plants to flower less and be much more difficult to grow. I know the new patch we just got did fix a few issues with gardening - so maybe it is better now.

I have the same issue! and I can understand they made that for the realism and to adjust how gardening works, but for instance: my orchids grow like 1-2 per day more or less, and that's okay, it's rare and it's not to be an abundant plant, the issue is having a bird of paradise being evolved and there for a long time, and not have ANY bloom at all. Not even 1 per X days. It just looks like it's bugged.
Thanks - my bird of paradise is now 'perfect' and has gone through five full years (seasons-wise) and has yet to produce a single flower. I started a completely new game when I installed Seasons and grew it from a seed (or rather, plant, since it turns up in the seed packet in the household inventory), but per your post, it's bugged and is never going to flower. I can happily give up on it and move on with my life (or rather, my Sims' life).
1) Plant it from a flower, not graft it: You'll have much of a higher chance to get the flower you want, if you know, it's the only thing growing on the plant. Try the Romance Festival from CL during its growing seasons to pick some or plop some down from the Gallery since it's not considered "cheating" if you will.
2) Know the flower's growing season: Birds-of-Paradise are Spring/Summer flowers, and the plants take 36 sims hrs to grow. Take the time to wait patiently during these seasons, for they will not bloom in Fall/Winter.
3) Stay on the lot you planted the flower in for the entire growing seasons: I presume you'll be planting in your home, so you'll probably make your sims homebodies for the entirety of Spring/Summer.
4) Extend the growing season lengths if you have to: If you find you're losing time in your growing season, why not extend the season length so that it has a longer time to grow at least one.
5) Plant way more than one plant as soon as you get more: Obviously it will expand the chances of you getting more flowers if you have more of the same plants, and following the above suggestions, you'll probably get a Bird-of-Paradise eventually.
