When my mom died, in October 2007, there were lots of living plants from lots of wonderful people!! One plant in particular caught my eye, and I brought it home to my dad's until I returned back to my house. Well, I guess once at dad's house, it caught his eye and he decided to split the plant in half... he got a beautiful healthy portion, while I got a branch, a leafless branch!! I didn't want to say anything, but I was honestly heart broken at the time. I am not any longer! This has turned into a funny little competition between us!
Over the last year and a half, his plant has grown and produced some wonderful flowers, 10 sometimes 15 at a time, while mine has produced a leaf... sometimes 2!! He always calls me to razz me about his gorgeous plant, and we get a good laugh when he asks how my branch is doing!
Well, I am soo happy to say that TODAY, MY PLANT FLOWERED!!!!
A big pink-red blossom with about 8 more on the way!!! YEAH!!!!!!
I can't wait to rub it in, I mean, tell my dad!
For the life of me I can't remember the name of this plant.. Cheryl I know you know!!
We are off to Shediac for the long weekend! Lots of pics when we get back.
