on the pink poinsettia plant...
and i'm ashamed to say... i'd neglected it somewhat. it used to be in my office and hadn't done well - that is to say i practically killed it off... so i clipped it and put it in water and it's been like that forever. sigh - sometimes it's just what we do, right?
it's hung on that way - with little leaves growing every now and then over the last couple of years - but that's it... just tiny little leaves. looking rather pitiful and forlorn... yet, i've not had the heart to throw it away.
then today - i looked and did a double take... for there it looks like it's an actual blossom forming... don't ya think? the leaves are colored - which hasn't been the case since i first bought it. i'm so doing the hippy - happy dance... i immediately began oohing and aahing over it and speaking softly to it - to encourage it, you know... can't hurt - i do talk to all my plants but figure now is the time for this one to get some extra special caring.
a new bud - new life - new beginnings... wonderful to see on a winter day in january... so grateful for its appearance.
happy day.....
