Good Grief, Bloom Please!

I thought I'd be posting the blooms today (but it is entertaining me more than I'd thought), but instead we watched the main bud 'pop' into these 5 or 6 potential flower buds, and the cluster spread wider throughout the day. I'm guessing by tomorrow morning, we'll wake to actual blooms.
Apologies for the repetition for those getting bored - don't feel compelled to comment!
Casablanca -- looking forward to seeing where yours is these days!

A slow-mo time lapse. This is very cool, the bokeh bolsters the tones that this strong minded one is showing.

So fun to “watch”

[Pam Knowler]

I am so enjoying this! It’s as if it knows you are waiting with baited breath for what I know will be a glorious display - eventually! Once again fabulous bokeh lifting this image into something special. Looking forward to seeing if Casablanca @Casablaca has a flower to show us yet? What fun!

[Corinne]

superb focus and DOF with the bokeh

[Jane Pittenger]

Like waiting just inside the labor room door...may the birth be easy and the baby healthy!

[KoalaGardens🐨]

Wonderful against the bokeh - maybe by tomorrow!

Such a mysterious stunner, wonderful colour and bokeh.

This really is a waiting game for us all isn’t it, love the bokeh

Hang on in there ... it will all happen eventually! Lovely suspenseful capture.

Beautiful idea and fantastic bokeh. Fav

@taffy Just posted a trio especially for you of how mine has done the past few days. I think it is growing in slow motion!

[Dione Giorgio]

The bokeh is amazing in this shot. Big fav.

[Beryl Lloyd]

Fascinating plant - and doing so well - jealous , as mine is still in bud form on such long spindly stems - Waiting for your next photo !

Another lovely capture, in anticipation of the bloom captures

This is fabulous. The bokeh, oh my! Well we are all waiting with bated breath for the blooms. It’s going to be amazing I know.

Love the colorful bokeh as the backdrop for this unfolding.

Super image and bokeh

I wait in suspense!

[Taffy]

@casablanca @beryl No blooms yet but the buds are getting more horizontal and fatter. Definitely requires patience!

[Henk-Jan]

I like the bokeh!

[Judith Johnson]

Stunning image, and I love the colourful bokeh

Lovely close up and I really like the bokeh.

[Elizabeth]

The suspense is killing me! Liking the colorful bokeh and the petals pointing to the light.

[Taffy]

@joansmor So frustrating to not have a bloom. Maybe it's a late bloomer?

[Joan Robillard]

@taffy No been leaves for weeks. I told my friend I can't take it back for a refund because the store can't be responsible for nature. lol

[Clare Gadsby]

she's biding her time very gracefully

[Lee]

Beautiful shot. I suspect it'll be worth the wait.

[Helen Jane]

Looks like this one is delighting in teasing you.
