Blooming Birds!

When we got married, we wanted to have birds of paradise as accent flowers, but, living in the north, they would have had to be flown in from Hawaii, which cost a pretty penny. So when we moved to Texas, Mondo bought me a lovely Bird.

Now, three years have gone by, and she has survived catching a large tree, a hurricane, and my not-always-perfect gardening skills. Through all of that, we must have done something right, because she has finally graced us with a bloom. I'm excited. It's beautiful. That's my story.
