It's my Mom's miniature African Violet and it's in bloom! Finally! After caring for it for the past 8 months, it's finally strutting its stuff! And her other two violets are just pregnant with unopened blossoms, so I'm really excited about that. I also have some of her aloe, and for a while it looked like it was on the verge of death, but it sprouted new baby shoots and is looking lively again. And I've also been looking after another plant of hers that for the longest time I couldn't identify. Turns out it's an orchid, and it's growing new leaves all the time, and I can't wait for it to grow a flower--it'll be a suprise because I have no idea what color or shape it will be.
Remember when I had that perpetual rain cloud following me around all the time? I don't want to jinx anything, but I think I've managed to give it the slip. My Mom's flowers are opening, and so is my life. There are new and exciting things coming my way. It's going to be a lot of hard work, but the best kind--I'm so focused and inspired right now (more on that later). You know, sometimes you just need to give things a little time and care and attention, and they'll come back around and surprise you--often when you least expect it. And if you really think about it, having a rain cloud follow you around for a little while actually helps things grow.
