The Story Behind This Story


This is the Mommy plant in which my plant is a cutting from.  This plant has only flowered 3 times in its life, and these photographs are those 3 times.  I have researched a lot about the Porcelain Flower plant, and I have come to find that the plant sometimes needs 7 years after its last big change in order for it to flower.  Lots of light, cool temperatures, watered once a week, and most importantly, consistency, is what the plant needs the most in order for it to bloom.  The stem in which the flowers bloom should never be trimmed if the owner wishes to have flowers again because this plant flowers on the same stem that it has flowered on before.  I was blessed to see these 3 blooms of my friend's plant before I moved away with my precious gift of its cutting.

About Me

My photo
I have always understood life through metaphors that paint a world I can both love and understand. Deep...describes my soul perfectly. To some it may be overwhelming; but to most, my authenticity is refreshing.
