My porcelain flower is 30 years old.I got it from a friend of my mother and have moved it with me around the town.Now it's covering a great widow facing east, and every time I remember to water it,I'm rewarded with bunches of pea sized blossoms, smelling like the costliest perfume.Just now they are competing with the spring outside.
P.S.
I am afraid I still have major problems in explaining myself in readable English.
The porcelain flowers come from a living plant.
The plant is 30 years old. The flowers are fresh and photographed in macro. They have the size of a flat pea, and in the evenings they send out tiny scenting drops.

Wow!You have had a plant for 30 years? You must be a wonder woman! The blossoms are very pretty.
ReplyDeleteThose are pretty blooms, Felisol. At first I thought they were porcelain, man made. Now I understand.
ReplyDeleteI know they have a lot of meaning for you. Finally our 'Aunt Minnie' plant died. She was older than my dad and we were the fortunate/unfortunate keepers.
Happy RT! I'm up again for this week. I comboed it with a late Mother's Day post.

Hope you are enjoying your weekly walksxx
The flowers have a life of their own, be they real or not. In the Spring, we look for flowers and the feel of the season. The smell of flowers we savor, the bright days we love. Any flower in the Spring is special indeed!
ReplyDeleteWow a lovely flower and it's 30 years old, that is awesome! Happy RT!

ReplyDeleteThese tiny flowers are indeed are materpiece of God 's handiwork.
ReplyDeleteMy goodness - Felisol what an adept horticulturist you are to preserve the plant for 30 years. You must have sheolded it from every mishap and fertized it wel. There is spiritual lesson in it too.
What a lovely flower:)
ReplyDeleteHappy RT!
Oh my, those are treasures to keep.
ReplyDeleteSpice Up your life
this is so gorgeous and scented too. so pretty.
ReplyDeleteYour tiny delicate flowers show that God made some things for His own amusement and joy, and that the person who notices the tiny is blessed with insight.
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely fascinating and beautiful flowers! The idea of the scent sounds wonderful!
ReplyDeleteHow beautiful, I'd never have guessed they were real until I read your PS. I can't believe you've kept the same plant alive for thirty years, it wouldn't last thirty HOURS in my house!
ReplyDeleteBy the way, you can look here to see how the Jacob's Ladder Festival got it's name :).
