Look Fast, I Broke It

12 years ago

This is a baggie plant that I have lost the tag. The flowers are 3", not spectacular but pretty and I like it. It had one flower last year, finally two this year. Unfortunately I knocked the pot off the shelf it was on and broke the flower stem. I had to clip it up for the photo so two days later the flowers are gone. Oh well, that's just the way it goes sometimes. After 77 years I have learned to live with my mistakes and go on.
