I've had this christmas catus plant for years. In fact, I got it after my grandma passed away in the late 80's. It has never bloomed. I notice the other day, that it has some buds on it. I took a closer look and it has several buds. I don't know what color the flower will be but I can't wait. I have taken some photos of it to show my mom. She will flip when she finally see that it's finally going to bloom. I wonder what color the flower will be. The anticipation is killing me. This is exciting!
When I saw the blooms, I immediately thought of my grandma. Gawl, how I miss her. She was a very loving person. Everyone in her town loved her to pieces. It also made me think, "Is grandma looking down on me?" It brought tears to my eyes. I started having flashbacks when I was young sitting on the front porch with her, early in the morning, while she drank her coffee and I drank my chocolate milk. Oh how I miss those simple days.
