My ginger in bloom<\/p><\/div>\n

I was outside watering yesterday morning and happy to see that just a little bit of water made so many of the yard plants bloom. \u00a0A friend planted several pineapples a few years ago and since they are completely under shade, they have only grown a little. They won’t bloom and fruit unless they’re out in the sun. \u00a0I found a couple of \u00a0yellow allamanda<\/a> that were barely growing just under the eleagnus<\/a>, and I thought, “Well, they are existing just fine, safe in the shadow of the eleagnus bushes, but they are not growing much and they won’t bloom under there.” \u00a0I thought how it is the same with me. \u00a0I can exist fine in a shadow\u00a0but if I want to grow and bloom, I need to get myself in a little more light and keep myself watered. \u00a0And some days I don’t care if I grow or not, and not everything that’s meant to bloom has to. \u00a0It’s nice to have choices.<\/p>\n
