HaHa!
I glanced out my doorwall and there it was: the first hibiscus of summer in the middle of August. I have been nursing this plant all through fall and winter, all through spring, all through summer. All I got for my efforts were glossy,beautiful, abundant leaves--then I noticed tiny buds, tiny promises of rewards to come. And sure enough, as I carried my coffee out on the deck, a single lovely bloom greeted me. "Hello there Linda!" Thrilled, I ran to tell the wicked King he could stuff his threats to chuck the plants. What an impatient boob! HaHa!

Just took my stubborn nature and regular feeding. Profuse blooms not yet,but if there is one bloom, most likely I can expect another. Trouble is summer is winding down and the weather that brought on this bloom won't be around much longer.

ReplyDeleteBeautiful!
ReplyDeleteI am feel your joy :)
Greetings,
ReplyDeleteI know the feeling when something you have nursed for months returns the favor with a beautiful bloom. For me it is when seeds of trees germinate and grow up strong. However there is something very special when one is rewarded with a flower, especially after someone doubted your efforts.
Congratulations!
Wishing you all the best,
Egmont
Thanks Evelyn. It is a lot of joy when something you hoped would happen happens.
ReplyDeleteEgmont, thank you for visiting. I have had quite a few pleasures in life out of pure luck. This one was achieved with calculation--otherwise known as loving care. The HaHa was a bonus.
