Spitting Mad

[jrodpad]

I was trying to unwind and relax a bit and watch some tv. I looked over at my favorite beallara - and saw that the top half of the spike was dangling down at a grotesque angle. It had been broken clean through and was hanging on by a thread. It was pregnant with 8 or 9 plump buds and who knows many more still pushing out from the tip - all after the break. It would have been my first rebloom for this one. I'd been watching the spike develop for weeks (at least 6, maybe 8). It should have started blooming in another 2 weeks.

I put so much time and energy pushing this one to the limit to try and have it really put on a show. And now - lost. Gone.

Someone must have knocked it over and put it back, hoping I wouldn't notice.

That's just so messed up. I don't have much in bloom right now and I was really counting on this to put on a show and liven the place up.
