Patience

My anthurium bloomed!

2 years later, with patience, love, water, and plenty of sun, it's now gorgeous.

This antuerium was one of the few things we purchased right before we left Hawaii to bring back. Of course we brought the cats, hundreds of sea shells, took thousands of pictures of our time there, chocolate, mac nuts, coffee and a few other items, but this I picked up at the airport touristy stand as a root start barely over an inch.


While living in the 'Couve, our downstairs toilet room had a west facing window, getting the most sunlight which is where my plant lived during our stay there. It thrived. Unfortunately, Paige found her way in there one day (those who have visited our homes know I'm meticulous on keeping doors shut to prevent cats from venturing to where I don't want them) and enjoyed herself an afternoon delight. The leaves were eaten to the stems and the dirt strewn about the floor. It looked pitiful.

It was a strong soul and survived. Spitting in Paige's face. And now has bloomed. I'm happy.

Cheers!
