Re-birth...

These flowers mean a lot to me - they are growing on the window sill of my darling daughter's home in Doha.

When we visited her in December, my DD showed me this sad petunia plant. It was in its death throes, and she wailed that it was a gift, and that she was looking after it so carefully... and yet it was dying...When I poked my finger into the mud, I realized that the poor plant was almost floating in water. My DD thought that she had to water it every day!! So we dried out the soil, and I made her understand that she only needed to spray a little water every other day.

Imagine my surprise when my DD sent me this pix today - there are 5 cheerfully, perkily blooming flowers!!!!! now if that isn't happiness....
