Okay, the original Bellina....this is the stubborn one I've had for over a year now. When I got it in the mail it's flower spike had broken...some time it looked like, before we got it. Since it still doesn't know how to make a flower, we have it in training... (sorry about the blurry pics, my camera is having issues too)
Then there is my more recent addition...it sits outside with it's pet rock. It likes to visit it's friends from the sicko nursery that finally closed, where they all came from originally. It is obviously irrisistible, (or tasty) as the local mice love to nibble on it's new little leaves. Which is why it's pet rock came to protect it from the roamin' varmints! Hopefully it won't have to go into training like my other Bellina....it has such pretty mottled leaves....it'd be a shame to have to put it with the "indoor" challenged Phals!
Someday when they grow up....I'll post the pics of their flowers. In the meantime...we'll just wait patiently (unless threats work better!).
