Greens

My poor little babies.

I've talked about their lovely arrival.

When I left for London and Liverpool, I've entrusted Daisy to look after my plants for me.

Few days later, she texted me saying she'll be visiting Scotland and hence had someone else to look after it for me.

Well, fine I guess, since I can't do anything and I don't think any huge harm can come to it..

NAIVE!!!!!!!!

The first thing I did after I reach Cardiff is phone Daisy and ask her if she's around so I could collect my babies. Unfortunately she left for London on the same day so I had to resolve to waiting at the door till someone comes along and opens it for me. She'd told me that the plants were in the kitchen.

I cannot tell you how heartbroken I was when I saw my babies.

Before I left, they were full and beautiful. My venus plant even has a tall bud that's about to bloom and I was bitter about how I wouldn't be able to wait for it.

Once I have them in my room again, I start examining them and again, my heart died a little more.

The calandiva.

Someone decided to snip off some of the less attractive branches!

I know part of the plant is wilting, but there is really no need to snip them off! It felt so bald and I am really really sad over it.

My venus.

Remember the bud? It got snipped off as well!!! Leaving the long stalk hanging. Might as well cut the stalk off as well right?

The point is, the bud is gone! I don't even see a trace of anything resembling a flower.

A lot of the cups died too!! Before I left, they were growing like mad and I have about seven to eight of them. Then, it has just two left. And they're on the verge of dying too!!

I'm soooo upset.

So I've taken to nurturing them, ensuring them having plenty of sunlight and enough water.

It pains me everytime I look at them.

Just sad.

Now, a month and a half later, they're recovering! :D

Under my love and care <3

My loves.

My poor little venus.

But hey! There's a new bud!!!!!!! The cups are also rapidly growing <3

It still look funny with most of the branches got snipped off, but nonetheless, is blooming beautifully.

I'm not entirely satisfied yet, but I am happy with their recovery progress!

What a great mother I am! :D
