Premature? But I am so excited. - Gloria Naugle

[ncart]

This is my Paph. Gloria Naugle, which I bought in bud 7 years ago. After blooming, it just grew. Nothing happened. As I was watering today, it looks like it finally decided to bloom for me.

I am keeping my figures crossed.

"Premature? But I am so excited."

That's why you're premature! :evil:
Good Luck and keep us posted!

Fun! I have three Gloria Naugles, but only one, the newest, looks like buds are coming! Now the long wait!

Premature excitement can occasionally be a bad thing......but in this case I would feel the same......lol

Or were you responding to Chris?

Very exciting! Gloria Naugle is one of my favorites.

Yay! Is it just one plant in the pot? Or 3 separate growths?

There are 5 of them in one pot. I think each of them could go to a separate pot when I report after blooming.

Good one. I love it. My Gloria naugle just finished its flower. If I were you I would refrain from splitting the plants up, unless it has naturally split, otherwise you may have to wait another 7 years to bloom again. It propagates well. My main growth flowered 3 years ago and had 2 new growths, the first new growth bloomed last year, now with its own 2 new growth. The second just finished flowering, but has not had any new growth.
I think yours is about 4-5 weeks from blooming.
