One little flower!!

14 years ago

Hi all! count IT! Just one little flower on this plant! lol, thought it was so cute, and for some reason, unexpected. A very nice surprise! but I guess that is what they do.. :) (the ducks are mom's collection- they are all over the place! lol, gotta love her) The black thing next to the baby duck, her watch that I did not see till now.. other than that, I love the photo!

    yellowish, yes. hard to tell in the light it is in. It isn't white tho. Has a little tint of pink on the edges. Very pretty and getting prettier as it opens. Will try to get a better pic of it later. (recharging camera now)

    I can't seem to get a better picture of it than this. Lighting is so bad. But it seems to be more white than yellow now, with red trim. Our cat decided this morning that it was something to play with.. silly cat.. we scared it to death! Hopefully he won't think about "playing" with it from now on. lol.

    So far, no new buds are showing up. Do they sometimes just have one to a few flowers? Just wondering is all..

    Now you're hooked, right? Do you think it's saying thanks for the repot? Like, I need to settle in, but here's what I can do for you for now...

    Lamora,
    Yes sometimes only 1 or a few and will most likely put out several times like that. Unpredictable. I just enjoy what i get! right now i have 8 different small plants with 1 or 2 blooms on each.
    If yours is a light creamy yellow with a faint edge of rusty red or pinkish-red then what you have is probably "Peaches & Cream"

    Howdy,

    Marjie, your TC is so very pretty..

    Buds seem to pop up when they want, so you might be surprised soon, finding more.
    Yes, additional buds can grow after one flower or several flowers open.

    The bloom looks yellow with darker gold hues..I don't see red though.

    Anyway, your TC is nice-looking.

    Thanks for the compliments~~ I didn't repot it, like I should have. I didn't have the materials for doing it then.(still don't for that matter) Was wanting to wait to see if it would bloom, but that is my next project after it is done blooming. It seems to be doing well like it is, but really could do with new soil... :)

    Cliff- Peaches and Cream-- thanks, it is a creamy color with light red trim, I just can't get it to show up on my camera!!

    but thanks again... she is a pretty one. Hoping for more to pop up...
    Marjie~~ very excited! :)

    Yes, it is YELLOW and almost impossible for me to get mine to open that pretty and that yellow.

    Congrats on the cutie and be glad it is very yellow. What a nice surprise and beautiful color. Enjoy:-)

    Oops! I thought this was one you rescued (from a neighbor or family member?) for some reason. Either I'm mixing memories of you or it's some 2-person memory-mashup.

    And if it ain't broke, don't fix it!

    purple, it is, it was given to me when Velda died last month. Nobody knows how old it is or how she took care of it. got a few plants from her that way.

    The flower is now not blooming anymore :( just sitting there wondering what to do. But it was nice while it lasted.. :)

    Sounds like a mixed memory indeed. Hope it makes more flowers soon!

    Oooo Margie it's gorgeous! I have been keeping my eyes open for a yellow one. I bought a red one and one that kind of looks like it may be the light pink like my other...I was hoping for yellow. They had 2 for $5 at Safeway and I couldn't resist :-) The one I bought last year has a couple buds but only one has opened so far.
