February 26th - Happy Houseplants
Only Happy Houseplants Flower
Only happy plants flower. Only when they are ready will they put forth the blooms that attract friends to come visit. Nature sings to them and provides all the love they need to stretch out and grow old. They need to invest where they are, smile at the sun, drink underground streams, and be flexible enough to not break.
Lonely houseplants need extra attention and care, though they may not have the competition or the allelopathic hindrance of bully plants. They still need to be watched and understood by the quiet signs of the leaves to know the strength of what's hidden within the often-colorful ornamentation of the breakable shell they're wrapped in. When they've found their favorite window in the climate of a comfortable home, the place where they can grow strong roots, they'll flower too, giving their color and clearing the air for the friends that come to visit.
There's wisdom in a flower, and no one has too many flowers in their life.
