View Full Version : Awww...man...I damaged my Stairway to Heaven bloom!!!
budsbud May 8th, 2007, 12:33 PM LOL...okay...I guess I was up for a boo boo!
I was taking my plant, ever so carefully into the GH. I held it close to my body so the petals wouldn't dangle about too much. But on my way in I pinched, between the doorway and my body, one of the petals. It didn't get broken off completely; it cut about half of it so it remainded dangling. The dangling part did eventually fall off. I was hopeful it would grow still.
Here's a pic:

Well, it's been a couple days and it appears that the petal is not growing.:(

goldenrose May 8th, 2007, 01:51 PM Look at the bright side - you only did it to one bloom, not all three,
now that would have been :eek: :eek: :eek:
Hien May 8th, 2007, 01:54 PM I suggest cut the 3 flowers at different lengths . Then put it on ebay as a most rare variety of STAIRWAY.:p

Oh Hien!!! Thank you so much for the hearty laugh!!! I think this was the first time I was able to laugh about the situation...and a good laugh it was! :thumbsup:
Grandma MC May 8th, 2007, 02:48 PM OHHHHHHHHH Ralph, that is hard to see. It was so beautiful... but at least you got to enjoy it for a short time.
budsbud May 8th, 2007, 02:52 PM Marilyn, is there a Stairway to Heaven curse...LOL!
Paphy57 May 8th, 2007, 04:00 PM Thinking about your story, I thought that I would share my story. Well, I was loading my Bouley Bay into the car to take it home (I bought it on vacation) and it had 2 spikes. Well, I broke one of them off by accident! It was the most devastating thing I ever did in my life! I had 2 spikes on it, and those were probably the only 2 spikes that I would ever see from it because I can't bloom a phrag to save my life!
Speaking of ebay, I bought an item from a seller, and he didn't have it! Now, I am trying to get my money back from him, but he can only send it back the way it came, and I can't get money back through paypal because I don't have that capability.

Could we know the name of the seller so we will be more precaucious (you can always anounce a change of status once you get the money back)

Paphy57 May 8th, 2007, 09:44 PM Ralph, Now I can see the real color of the pictures. I love this new computer!
BTW- The seller was Stuff4less! I am in the process of finding a way to get my money back. He seems really nice, so it shouldn't be hard.
