One of Dad's Favorite Flowers
This time last year, my dad was home from the second Care Center and was starting to get stronger, so we started to go out to some of his favorite restaurants and soon he was walking around his neighbor. We were making plans on the best way to redo his patio so he could go sit outside and water some of his plants. One of my Dad’s favorite flower was Begonias, so when I saw this one at his house the other day not doing so well, I took it home and gave it some water … the next thing I knew it had flowered!

@Lisa K that is beautiful. I'm so glad that you were able to revive it!

@Lisa K It's gorgeous! Maybe the stress and then you care is just what it needed to let it show off what it could become.

Thanks @Michelle D and @vickeym, it certainly bloomed when I needed it the most.
