I’m not really a gift-loving person. I don’t like celebrations, birthdays or gifts. But one thing I do love is getting new flowers. After a couple of disastrous gifts, my hubby learned the lesson, and now every time he wants to buy me something, he buys me flowers. This year I got a bunch of new flowers for Valentine’s Day and Women’s Day.
On Valentine’s day, hubby brought me a Guzmania. A pretty little house plant with a beautiful red center has been placed in the living room and it has been there for the past month. I know that once the plant flowers it will start dying off, but I’m hoping it will make some baby plants before dying.
On Women’s Day hubby got me a trio of spring plants Cyclamen, Primula, and Hyacinth.
I’ve kept Hyacinth and Cyclamen indoors and Primrose outside on the balcony. Cyclamen is usually kept here as an indoor plant. We have wild cyclamen in our forests that are protected and we can’t pick them, so we mostly keep the bought one in the house.
Now I’ve started to think that I need to come up with more important dates so that I could get more new flowers. Earth Day is around the corner, maybe this would be a good time to get a nice flowery surprise.
