flowering....

Remember Stephanie's post about her flowering violet? Well I have my own little tale.

In August this year we had our ladies tea and I was presented with a stunning rose in a pot. Well it's been living in my kitchen and off and on I'll water it... until I discovered that Keith was watering it too so I decided best I stop all it'll drown.

So now in the few months that we've had it, the one rose that was on it, died and shrivelled. It got another bud which I don't this went anywhere and also got a few new leaves and a few which died. Well last week I saw a new bud and tracked it's progress. It opened, bloomed and did it's thing... see with perseverence anything is possible!





And then, with being away for the weekend... it shrivelled and died.... hehehe (the flower not the whole bush!). Will tenderly nurse the bush again and hope that it hasn't died altogether.

It sure was pretty while it lasted.
I am envious that you met Melody, I had read on her blog she was coming to SA, but I didn't know where...lucky fish. TFS.
