Janene has this really nice house plant in our kitchen. In all the time we have had it, it has never bloomed. We got a start of it from Mary Lynn, who got hers as a wedding gift. Two days ago, I got a Fed Ex package at work. Carefully wrapped in a little (very wet) gift box were two flowers from Mary Lynn's plant. Here is one blossom to show the scale on our plant.
The little flower is incredible in it's detail.
It actually grows in clusters of about eight flowers.
We have a friend who has one of these plants that was brought across the plains by her ancestors and has been handed down from generation to generation. Janene gave her one of these flowers on the day that their oldest daughter was sealed to them in the Bountiful Temple. She will probably someday pass it on to her daughter. Hopefully their plant will bloom once in one of their lifetimes.
Life is full of tender mercies if you look for them - and are willing to share.

Wow! What a gorgeous little flower. And interesting that it blooms so rarely. I wonder what makes it bloom.
