three years later. . . . .

When we first moved to Texas as we were getting settled we decided to purchase a couple house plants, one of which is some form of a lily. There were blossoms on it when we purchased the plant, and enjoyed the flower for a while. After three years of nothing, it finally bloomed again! YAY!!

Now to get Rylee to stop eating the dirt. . . . .

On another plant related note. I found an article in my mystery BH&G magazine about forcing your tree/shrubs to bloom early. Remembering how happy the pink blossoms made me feel last year, I decided to try it out and get a taste of spring a bit early (you know, aside from the blue skies and warm breeze). Well, SOME of the twigs bloomed but not enough to vase. And now the tree itself is mostly covered in pink blossoms. fail. I may hold out for a few more more days anyway.
