Friend (25) – I am so glad you have grown up, my friend

On 21 August 2012, I posted a post on Peacock plant under ‘My Friend’ series.  During that time, this plant was young and tender and I wish he’ll be growing happily like a kid.

6 months down the road, I heard him greeting me this morning.  This one-foot tall kid greets me first thing in the morning.  Before that, I don’t really pay attention on him.  Reason being that I have too much things to care for in my secret garden.  Also, too much thing to meddle on my daily job.

And to my surprise, this little kid has grown up to be a one-foot tall gentleman.  When I talk about his greetings it’s as simple as just a warm stare at each other.  I’m just too amaze about his speed of growing which is more than what I have expected!

There is a Chinese saying’无心插柳柳成阴”, literally means unintentional actions may bring unexpected success.  I was truly enlightened by this word of wisdom!

Again, it is a sight I am looking for in this atmosphere of spring!  It doesn’t matter how exuberant he is, or how much fruits he will be baring, I am looking at his uplifting spirits, his will to put enough effort to penetrate hardship and go through obstacles.  Fruits or flowers are just extra bonuses!

  1. A very good evening Syd.. :D
    that plant has grown very well ya..? Will there be flowers..or maybe fruits.?

  2. Oh happy day. I like what you find happiness in, it is refreshing! Thank you. :-)

  3. Congrats. Please show us pictures with it´s flowers or fruit ;-)

  4. Growing the unknown is great. My Grand Children got a bean in a packet of growing mixture and planted it. The bean grew into a huge plant with bean pods nearly 300mm long. I searched for it on the internet but never found out what it was. I must try to find the blog and copy it,as it was very interesting and maybe someone on this site will have an answer.

  5. I love planting seeds and watching them grow, you are right they are like children.

  6. I feel the same way about my plants! I talk to them and everything…not a LOT..but mention how healthy they look, how beautiful…anyway. Tree’s have souls, I think, and they last a lot longer than we do–providing we leave them alone. A wonderful peek inside your soul, Sydney. :)

  8. And quite the handsome gentleman he is.
