I am completely infatuated with my gerbera daisy plant. I received this wonderful gift on the last day of school last year from a very sweet student. It bloomed for a couple of weeks back then, and for whatever reason I chose to keep it around through the winter. (I have NEVER been successful at keeping plants alive!) The poor plant was a bit neglected at times, but it continued to grow beautiful foliage. Lately I’ve been keeping it well watered and in the sunlight, and the past few weeks its really taken off! I really wasn’t expecting it to bloom again, but I arrived home yesterday to the start of these pink petals. This morning it just burst into a full out flower, and I am obsessed! I’ve been watching it all day long, and I’ve taken a million pictures. My family thinks I’m crazy.
I’ve also been stewing over last week’s failed bundt cake. So, I made a “normal” version today. And I couldn’t resist taking this picture to show my truly obsessive nature.
Your flower looks lovely. But I’ll admit, the cake looks better to me……
It really is a nice bloom. I remember feeling the same way when I had an amaryllis bloom once. (Once was the number of times I’ve had a plant bloom for me.)
good work friend… but the picture made me think of My Big Fat Greek Wedding…
(greek accent) “oh thank you, what is it?”
“Its a bunt”
“A bun?”
“BUNT”
“bun – t”
“yes! BUNT”
“OH its a cake!”
and then she brings it out with a flower in the middle of it!
CLASSIC!!!
good times last weekend, my friend, good times! Missing you guys like crazy already. Much love!
love the gerber and the cake!
