Finally, a flower

This afternoon when I went out to check on things I noticed that something seemed out of place, there was something of an orangish tinge where before there had only been green. Upon closer inspection I learned that what I was looking at was one of the thundbergia flowers.

After months of waiting, we finally have a proper flower in our balcony garden. There are a few more buds so it seems that we may have more in the coming days.



I was beginning to worry that we might pass through the entire growing season without a single flower. I can now sleep knowing that I not a total failure when it comes to the growing of flowers, though that it does take me a little longer than most people.
