I hear your pain. In the past weeks, I have broken off 4 bud spikes being careless including one for a NOID that I've never seen blooming. There is nothing to do, but enjoy what you get and it is lovely!
OMG I just realized this flower is fragrant! I had tried smelling it before but I think the smell of a candle nearby got in the way, or maybe since it had just opened it wasn't giving off a scent yet. It smells like roses, it's awesome.
