Great news! My little NOID has been sending up bloomstalks for a few days now, and I definitely didn't expect to see an actual bloom when I went into the plant room today, but lo and behold she surprised me!

The first picture here, I moved her into the sun briefly to see if I could catch the "sparkles" that were the thing that drew me to her in the first place. Don't worry, she's not in that sun all the time! This picture is actually the closest to her true color.

Here she is in her natural environment. See those other bloomstalks! I'm so excited! The picture makes her bloom look almost purple-y, but it really is solid pink.

I think I did that picture thing right...*sigh* oh well. =)
