My strange little plant...So, I've had a little plant (the sad, dying little plant on the right of the pot) for several years. It is actually a part of a plant that was at a family member's funeral. I have spent these years trying to keep this little plant alive, which has been no small feat since I don't have even a smidge of green in my thumb. Finally, I gave up on the struggle to make the plant grow and bloom. I put it outside beside my door and abandoned it. Something strange happened. The plant continued to die, but in it's place, a brand-new plant began to grow with absolutely no help from me. I did nothing to create this new plant. Now I have a beautiful flowering plant that I never expected. It's sort of like life's struggles. Sometimes you have to give up on something you've hoped for in order for a dream you never imagined, to happen.
