C. jenmanii var. coerulea
 

I got this one a few weeks ago, it had 3 buds that were doing really well until the plant fell over about a week ago and two of them blasted :(

I'm happy that at least one of them opened and I can enjoy it.

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!

Lovely! I' m sure we have all lost buds to some fiasco or another ...

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.

Beauty AND fragrance...what a great combination! Congratulations...Betty :-)
