Perhaps someday you will get to see one up close. Thank you for the comments.

That is awesome, I love it when we get plants from another person. Interesting that the daughter plant is the one that flowers often. I think you are right about the temps and humidity I found it plays

Woohoo!

You know exactly how we feel, I know you had to have taken that hard as well. I know my husband would have done anything to hang on to her longer if she had gotten sick, and it would have been a small

I love the raised beds, one of my favorite ways to garden and you have made great use of your space. I just planted turnips, radish, and rutabaga seeds in one of mine. I have to start some kale seeds as

Keeping our thoughts positive helps to keep those happy vibes high.

Thank you for your kind thoughts. We are doing our best to remember all the happy things we shared with her. It is hard, yet comforting at the same time.

I know how you feel, we always thought the same way just thinking about the day we would not have her. Now that we don't it is just so hard to adjust too. Thank you for your kindness.
