    Does anyone have both? How much disparity is there between the two?

    Huge difference between the two. Personally, I would go with the Bird of Paradise... coloring is far more interesting, branches are much thicker, and overall it seems to grow quicker. Not real impressed with the Ponape.

    Yeah, there is considerable difference between the structure of the two, as they're different species.

    Ponape is much more pink (with yellow), whereas the Bird of Paradise is much more purple (with green).
