Arborea getting ready to bloom

I have attached a picture of my small Arborea getting ready to bloom.

That is a beautiful arborea you got there, Glory. I note the good habit and the relatively small leaves. It is different from Ida and one of the parents I still got left. Both has the same problem as Monikas Rothkirch, that is way to large leaves. Ida can have 60 x 35 cm leaves and the flowers are only to 19 cm long ... I have long time had the thought to cross her to a small leaf arborea and see, what happen ... maybe arborea "Engelsglockchen" or Rich Sanders plant, which has also relatively small leaves :)

Is it the first time you see it in bloom? ... well, the flower is properly opened in this writing minute ... will you post again, when it is fully expanded :)?

Beautiful plant Glory. I'd love to see the flower when it opens fully.

It is wonderful that it is getting ready to open its bloom and such a pretty plant. I know you must be excited, expecially if it is the first time that it has bloomed. I have never seen an arborea - please take a close up of the bloom when it is completely open.

Gloria, Obviously someone was taking good care of your brugs when you were away. Can't wait to see a picture of your arborea fully opened. Waiting with anticipation.

Beautiful shaped plant, please post bloom when fully open.
So good of you to share this one with us.

Okay Kyle, what does <<< mean? I think I've seen you do this before but didn't have the nerve to ask what it meant then. Getting brave here now. :-)

Congratulations Glory!! RonBob did a good job watching over your plants for you didn't he?

Brugie . . I think it means ditto to above post. Eclipse will have to tell you if I am wrong.

Smart watering system! I love it. Great pic too!

Tonny,
This plant came from Rich...I hope it opens real soon.

Cala,
Ronbob did do a very good job of keeping everything watered...maybe I can rent him out for the summer vacations. LOL

Brugie..When I do this <<<<<<<
:-)

Okay Kyle....<<<<<<<

Brugie, it did it again...when I use that back arrow symbol it means its referring to me..but obviously when I type it to cuts my post off..so I guess I won't use it any more.LOL :-)

Good, Kyle, because I'm still confused.

Glory, please dont forget to add the fragrance to the picture!

Yes, Glory, don`t forget the fragrance ... so Monika, you love the arborea fragrance too? I find it a close number two after the golden aurea :)
