Plant with family history

22 Dec 2023 4 2 58
Today is the 80th anniversary of this plant moving from my great-grandmother's hands to my mother's. My parents were married today in 1943 and this plant was a gift from her grandmother. It's been cloned a dozen or more times in the family. This is the mother plant (ha ha: "mother" plant; get that?) which Mom kept close at hand for decades and which I inherited after she died seventeen years ago. It blooms every year in time for her wedding anniversary. Happy dark days getting brighter, short days getting longer!
