    Smile Blc. Ports of Paradise 'Emerald Isle'

    YES!!!!!!!!

    Finally this guy bloomed, I've been waiting a year I love the neon green color, its just as pretty as I imagined it would be!

    It probably would have bloomed sooner, but I repotted it into SH when I bought it last August, so it had to recooperate a bit, I imagine.

    AND yes, that is a huge sunburn mark on the leaves from when it came to its new home last August in this south window...yeowch!!! Its been better since then though, no more burns

    Thanks for looking!
    Becky

    Really intense neon green colour as you said Becky, very exceptional, and very good shape. Congratulations for caring for this plant so well and making it bloom.
