So this little lovely was hiding in a far corner of my yard where all the ugly plants go and sometimes die. But I discovered it a few weeks ago just full of big, promising buds. So I gave it a new pot and a privileged spot on my patio and to thank me it did this.
When I looked up it's botanical name I found out that it is called the Lenten Rose. And whaddaya know, Lent had indeed just begun. I hadn't really thought about giving up anything for lent, until we heard a very pointed sermon about the gods of entertainment that we all bow down to. So I decided to combine that with a friend's challenge to make each day 15 minutes better. So for the record and what's left of Lent, I am planning daily to replace 15 minutes of my entertainment time with something better and more lasting. All that inspired by this sweet plant!
