Bloom where you are planted.

What a surprise to glance over at the trellis today and find a stunning fuschia blossom peaking out from behind the foliage.
For months we have been coaxing along an aged clematis vine. At times, it seemed half dead. Then it seemed that we would have foliage only. Then the appearance of a few white buds seemed hopeful. Now it seems that our care and attention have been rewarded: our clematis is blooming where she is planted and she's brilliant!
Some plants can thrive on being ignored and can 'resurrect' when least expected. On the other hand, I shudder to think how many house plants my mother destroyed by over-watering...
