Why life is unfair sometimes...

See this beautiful plant??? Check out the blooms!!



I'm not sure what type of plant this is- but my Mom had it first. She divided her plant when it was being re-potted and gave me half. How nice was she????

Now, here's the unfair part. Ever since she has divided the plant, hers never blooms. She waters it and nurtures it and moves the plant around to make sure it gets enough light. She really cares for her plants.

Mine sits in our front room window--ignored, waterless for weeks, trampled by backpacks at times. Yet, it seems to thrive in the neglect. Not only does it blossom once, it usually produces 2 blossoms at a time. And in some type of weird coincidence, it usually blooms when she's here.... Not fair. Just had to say sorry, Mom- please enjoy the pictures of the blossoms---they are beautiful!!! Or come and see them in person (wink, wink) Jill
