Flowers
Yesterday on the way back from an errand I saw these pretty purple and white flowers on the ground.
They burst into my range of vision like a bright area of color on the brown mud surrounded by green leaves.
Then I remembered last year all summer I watered these green plants that showed no sign of flowering.
They were just these long green leaves on the ground.
But I continued to water them although I saw no bud in them and certainly no flowers.
The year before also I watered them.
In late autumn last year I stopped since it was cold.
This year so far I did not water.
Suddenly today there were these flowers.
What does it tell us.
It tells us that perseverance pays.
For me the perseverance was in continuing to water a plant that did not produce flowers.
All other plants had buds and flowers and were in full bloom.
These plants were outside the fence and I had to make a trip with water for these plants and they just did not produce flowers.
But this year they did.
I am so happy I watered them.
I had a similar experience last year. These two plants were not blooming at all.They were just these tall green stalks growing in these pots. Without knowing if they would flower without knowing what flower would bloom I just watered them last year. I kept on watering for what seemed like ages. One day I woke up and saw buds. Soon I saw these flowers. I hope you have a lovely day!
