Well I planted them one afternoon and moved them up to my balcony where I could keep a close eye on them. I've been watering and talking to them for nearly three months. Ignorantly, I used the whole packet of lobelia for this one plant, so it is a full and thriving specimen (!), but what thrills me most is that they actually survived. And better yet, they have blossomed!
The wisdom of a distant friend blooms in my own intimate world, and I can't help but think that there never was a better gift...

A great gift indeed! Congrats on keeping them alive. I sometimes have issues with that too! Carla
It was a thoughtful gift and the plants look so healthy and happy. It was a good idea to keep them nearby and talk to them. I should try that next time I attempt to start seeds. :)
A delicacy ... I loved it!
Kisses.
"...truly I say to you, if you have faith as a mustard seed, you shall say to this mountain,'Move from here to there,' and it shall move; and nothing shall be impossible to you."
(Matthew 17:20)
Do you now believe this?
-Father
I do believe it ... but not necessarily in the saying, but in the moving. He is indeed that great!
