That's unusual and so pretty

Beautiful flower 🤍💜🤍

Oh wow, that's exquisite 🤍💜🤍

Exciting! 😀

OH wow ..fantastic

@hebelover @hkyfvr @gjones @pelly @italydiva @juliesgarden @KOutdoors thank you all ☺️ so pleased that all 3 varieties have buds this year 🥳 took a while to find the right spot for them but they definitely seem happy now, even if it did take 4 years 🤣

Very welcome 💜🤍

With a name like that, sounds like a piece of cake.. it sure did fool you! Way to go plant mom! Way to nurture it and never give up!!

Love it when that happens. So beautiful. I’m more impatient and usually only wait 2 years before they get ripped up if they don’t perform. 😂

@jmlincoln I thought they’d be easy too 😂 good thing they can just be left alone because if I’d had to fuss over them they’d be long gone! 🤣

@philstalder it makes it seem like you’re doing something right 😂 usually I’d be the same! 4 years is longest I’ve kept a lazy plant. They require so little that I forget they’re there most of the time 🤭

Alba Variegated. Cataloging
