It's ARRIVED!!! Yeah!!! Look...Look LQQK!!! I'm so happy!

Can you even believe this? I can't! LOL Finally I have seen my very first brug bloom on my new L'Amour that Tracey sent me! And it is just absolutely gorgeous and sooooo beautiful! I've waited soooooo long for this and I'm loving it! I'm doing such a screaming happy dance!

I left for work this morning around 9 am and it is now after 1am...DH and I rushed home knowing that we might possibly have a bloom! (my 9 yr old was with us also) I could not believe it when we opened the door. I knew we must have a bloom when I could smell it. I wish everyone could experience this with me! This is so beautiful! My son thinks it smells like his Nana's lilacs! DH says it smells better than that.....he just says it smells glorious!

Here goes everyone.....I'm posting all the pics I just took of it! I'm soooo in love with L'Amour and every brug in the world! LOL

Another....

Lookin' simply wonderful! :D

And (of course) another....

Hey Lily...I can't stop now...I have to post more! LOL Here is another!

If I had it I would be doing the exact same thing...here and in the Canadian forum (given it's rarity I'd prob. be emailing the pic to everyone just in case they missed it)! ;)

Tell me....was everyone this excited about their first???

I was but this one is extra special and you know more than most newbies...with that one I'd be ecstatic too!

OK.....I'm not bored....but everyone must be by now! LOL

I can't stop laughing at DH....he keeps running in there sticking his nose in it and telling me how wonderful it smells! hehehhe......like I can't smell it!

LOL Lily! I wish I could share with you!

I'm wondering how dark it will be in a few days! It look sooo pretty right now!

How warm is it there?

edited to say..... I'm rereading your post and sitting here grinning! I can just about picture your family right now. :D

Well, now I can go to bed happy! LOL. It will get darker tomorrow! It is a beauty! The first of many, I am sure!

Well Lily I am grinning too!!! (hehehhe...I'm loving this night) ....right now it is almost 2am and the temp is 68 degrees outside! We have no wind and it is very plesant outside. The L'Amour is inside. I've kept it in the house because of all the storms we have had.

As far as my family goes! The kids are all tucked away in bed (the 9 yr old is dreaming sweet dreams and the 18 yr old is probably not dreaming sweet dreams, but asleep) and DH is in his recliner SNORING away! But I'm sure he will wake before long and detour by the new L'Amour bloom before heading down the hall to the bedroom......making some comment about the glorious smell, before retiring to bed for the night!

LOL....how long before you wind down enough to sleep??? ;)

Goodnight Brinda....sweet L'Amour dreams!!!

LOL Lily...it could be a few hours! Nite darlin! Thanks for looking and enjoying my new found beauty with me!

:)

No turning back from the addiction now Brinda!!! Great pictures,it is worth the wait.

Yeah! It sure is a beauty :o)

Congrats on your first bloom!

Love the pictures. I'm so glad you weren't disappointed in your first bloom. I don't know how anyone could be. They are just so unlike anything else I've ever seen and that fragrance makes them even more beautiful. You will have so much fun with your brugs/camera this summer. I'm happy for you.

Brinda:

Your enthusiasm is contagious and I'm so happy for you! Congratulations on your beautiful bloom. I enjoyed every photograph you posted and look forward to many more.

Brinda, your pics are beautiful and you captured what L'amour really looks like. It will get a deeper color in a couple of days. You just have to love it!!!!!!

Sure is a beauty. Enjoy, thanks for sharing.

Beautiful, Brinda. I'm doing the happy dance for you. I can't wait to see blooms on mine. LOL

Great Pictures ........ what a beauty Brinda.

Thanks for sharing.

She is very lovely. Great pics. Waiting on mine to bloom now.

So happy for you brinda...so glad I found this post of photos after going to the first post and hearing she had come, but no photos!
Beautiful! and may you have many more!
Isn't gardening exciting?! I know just how you feel. I get just thrilled over even a green leaf. I cannot even imagine how I will feel with a birth of a blossom as pretty as yours!

It sure is a beauty! Yeah!!!!

Brinda!!!! Yay!! Im so so excited for you!! I posted on the other thread before I saw this one! lol Congratulations!!

Beautiful bloom and pictures Brinda. The scent of this one is so wonderful. I am so happy for you that you bought a L'Amour and are experiencing the beauty of this plant.

Hey Brin, I'm so happy for you! I know exactly how you feel.

These are beautiful pictures of a beautiful bloom! Congratulations Brinda! I assume, you have the same problem now, we all have - Brug fever LOL

You're right Monika! I've had the 'fever' really bad for a year now! And now that I've finally seen and smelt a brug I know it is going to just get worse!

Thanks so much everyone for enjoying this bloom with me! I just wish I could put into words how I feel! LOL It sounded kind of like a soap opera! This is a great place and I have made so many wonderful friends in this forum. I'm so thankful for so many things in my life and you all are a big part of it.

Hiya Bambi.....luv ya girl and miss you too! Wish you were here.

Hey Kell...somehow I missed your comment at 2:00 am. I hope you had a wonderful nights sleep! LOL I can't wait to see all your L'Amour blooms!

Congratulations on your first ! What a bloom to have as your first!I'm so happy for you. I can't wait for my own first bloom!

Brinda, Thank you for sharing your picture. It is just gorgeous. I also got L 'Amour from Tracy and am anxiously waiting for it to get buds.

Congrats! I can't believe you were up posting at 3 am this morning! I though I was bad, girl, you are definately addicted now! I am so happy that bud made it for you, and you are getting to enjoy a bloom!

Brinda....3 a.m.??? Boy you really were really, really excited...it was only 1:22 when I quit! ;)

Thanks everyone! I had just come in from work. Tuesday and Wednesdays are my 16-18 hour days. After that I'm a vegetable...LOL! But it was only 2am here.
