After
two years (!), my heliconia bloomed. Out on our small deck, I spotted the
first sign of a flower, and what a gratifying sight it was. Weeks later, it was in full blossom. Yes, leaves
are a little brown on the edge – just goes to show I’m not so good with flowers
since I wasn’t born with a green thumb. I usually water them in the
morning, but Elliot gives the plants another bath in the afternoon (it’s the heat and this plant drinks).

yay! I remember the way i felt the first time my Amaryllis bloomed, I took pictures of it every day, just so I didn’t miss anything after waiting so long. (it took two years as well)
Perseverence pays off!
Mmph, I need to tell myself that.
