I don't want to grow a Venus Fly trap if I can't let it bloom! No blooms = no eating bugs! The plant needs the nutrients from ingesting the bugs to live, besides.
I'm also pretty confident that your Bird of Paradise couldn't be blooming yet. IF you can take video, you can probably take a still picture, too. We really need to see this plant to make an ID. If you have a Heliconia, it might be blooming, but even that is pretty doubtful.
