Yesterday, when I went out to water all the plants, I glanced through the plants and saw something yellow. It's my Sunflower! It had finally bloomed.
I had planted sunflower seeds a couple of times. All the previous attempt to get flower had failed. Somehow, the plants would either keep dropping the leaves or will keep yellowing or will have black spots or will have white patches on the leave. So I always had to cut off and replant again.
This time, I planted 3 but I accidentally killed 1. The one that had flower now is the one that is taller. End of last month when my dad told me that there would be flower, I do not believed him and did not have the time to take a good look at it.
Beginning of this month, when I looked at the plant, I did saw flower bud. I was wondering if it would bloom on my birthday giving me a birthday surprise. Yet it did not. It was pretty disappointing. Nonetheless, it bloomed yesterday when it was on my lunar birthday. So it's still a pleasant surprise for me. So I am very happy!
Oh ya. Not only this month was my birthday. This month is also my dance group, Sunflower Dance Group's Anniversary and my sunflower bloom in this month. It is so cool! It made me remember that before I joined this dance group, I also planted another breed of Sunflower (doesn't look so). And that my room had a cute vase with bear and sunflower prints and that year I went to the audition for the Sunflower dance group and I got in. That time, I kind of see Sunflower almost everywhere in my house as my mum loves sunflowers so she even got a PVC table 'cloths' which had sunflower prints.
Anyway, I am really happy that it bloomed and I hope insects would come to help to pollinate the flower so that I would get more seeds. I know I had alot but to be able to get more seeds when you grow the plant from seed, the feeling is super great. It's like you felt that you accomplished something. Hee!
