Patience is a Virtue

Below is a Passion Flower. I gave this incredibly intricate plant to Abbey six months ago. At first it had several buds about to bloom, and then they all fell off without blooming and leaving us perplexed, saddened, and feeling like the worst plant parents, ever.

Six months later (today to be specific) we were gifted this beautiful bloom that happened between 8:30 this morning and Noon. This was such a refreshing sight to see as everything outside is covered in snow. This picture doesn't do it justice, yet another push to work on my photography!
