First bloom for this beauty!
I ordered this sweetie from Bluebird's back in December. It has finally started to pop open and I'm drooling over the green frilled edges. It came with this bud, and it has taken this long to open. Can you believe it! Slow but worth the wait!
i know you are sooooooo excited! looks like it is going to be amazing! can't wait to see pictures when it fully opens!

Beautiful plant ! Thanks for sharing your first beautiful bloom :))
Wrangler's Green Pastures (6223) 05/20/1986 (W. Smith) Double white/rose-mauve fantasy, green frilled edge. Variegated, glossy, ruffled. Standard
Here's the whole plant. Still tiny, but I'll cut it some slack since it put up that flower!
And a beautiful flower it is :)) Better put a leaf down just for insurance :))
I think I have two leaves down. Did I send you one?
maybe ? I can't remeber everything but no worry i've grown a few of them. lol too funny heh !lol
WOW! That is a beautiful bloom.
Beautiful..a green edge.....love it!!
Congrats!!
Very beautiful!
Beauuuuuuuuuuuuutiful.
Thanks folks, I put it in the PlantFiles. I'm in love!
Ali, Irish Paradise is just about to POP! I can't wait!
Laurie thats beautiful.wow
Laurie you must of missed my posting when I called myself the new queen of Sports. lol No one responded to my thread :(( But my Irish Paradise sported :((
And I had the Mom plant . I could just scream and cry as this plant is so hard to find and the Mom cost a lot and she bloomed true many times. My Sport looks like a leaf I have never seen before. lol
Oh I can't find it but mine Sported :(( It's sorta peach/yellow pale with faint stripes. lol
So does that mean the one I have is a sport too? Can you get another from your original source?
Any you want me to look for when I go to the sale and show next weekend?
this one is opening up lavender purple.
It's a beauty. Can you imagine what it will look like when it gets full size and laden with bloom. NICE
Deb
nope, but when it does, I'm quite sure you will all hear the thud as I faint.
Really Laurie your's is opening different than mine. I bought mine on Ebay couple years ago . It was pretty exspensive then and this was my last leaf and last two babies. Supose to be double pink green edge. Maybe your's will have green too funny they grew up in the same pot same Mom but this happens all the time. Did your Russian bloom open yet ?
No, and I was staring at it today. I asked it if it was going to be a sport, and it just sat there. It's keeping it's secret for now.
I'll get a shot of Irish Paradise here in just a minute. Hang on I want you to see it.
Begonia, that is BEAUTIFUL!!!
Oh I saw the Mom plant bloom many times. It was blooming when I bought it. I know how breath taking it is what ever happen to mine . I'm the new Queen of Sprots. Hek most of Ma's plants are Sports why not grow mine out and name them too. lol Lot's of Rob's are Sports too. lol
And they say one in every hundred leaves you put down will sport.
OOOH! AHHHH! That is really beautiful!
Allson you name them girl! Heck I sure would!
Yeah why not everyone else does :))
It's just one more way to immortilize yourself! 100 years from now on Ebay they will be advertising and bidding up to 60.00+ for that rare Allison's Puppy w/ Hat! LOL.
ok, I posted it over in the baby thread, I was wandering around lost again!
Laurie for some reason your plants even grown in the same pots as mine same Mom leaf just might bloom true !
