My pot plant is re-flowering .... but nothing like the original bloom

in #life • 6 years ago (edited)

This is my pot plant when I first bought it from Aldi a couple of months ago at least. I called it a dahlia because of its size but I was wrong. This flower is a chrysanthemum - I am sure because a friend who knows flowers told me! Lookout the leaves she said. Dang I did not think of looking at leaves!

Magnificent isn't it?



Anyway, I thought it would be fun to photograph the growing of a new flower. My thinking was that it had to be the same impressive bloom as the original one.

Here is my first shot when it was only a bud. One could only call me very hopeful.

This is my second shot and I was still hopeful. The blooming flowers - yes even more exciting more buds were forming. I could only congratulate myself, the flower pot was in the right spot, watered every day and got fertiliser.



Growing expectations is a wonderful feeling. But having expectations is not a good thing I was beginning to realise with flower blooming in a bought flowerpot. Because as you can see my new flower was not going to grow to the same impressive size of the previous flower at all. The flower was small - pretty but weedy small. Did I feel a little deflated? Yes.



Maybe the nursery used super fertiliser right? It does not matter in the big picture of things - I have decided that really like this multi flowering effect. It has been a lot of fun watching these flowers grow. Creating a flower gallery of budding chrysanthemum flowers has get me busy!

cheers
Have a happy day.

Enjoy reading and please comment.
