About 18 months ago the kids and I planted shrubs and flowers in our shared communal area. Amongst the things we planted were 30 sets of very, very, VERY miserable, crunchy, dried-up garden flowers. The shop had literally given these away.
Anyway we planted them in a quick, slap dash manner. From time to time, I would point out to the kids how sorry-looking these flowers continued to look. However for the most part we forgot about them.
That was back in 2018.
Last Christmas, we were surprised to notice these same plants had been transformed into a row of strong, vivid-pink, thriving flowers!
They have added much needed colour and vibrancy to our frosty, mid-winter months.
