You see, even though I enjoy gardening, I'm not really that good at it. And houseplants - well, houseplants and I do not have a very good relationship. Keeping them alive and healthy is a real challenge for me - killing them on the other hand, is easy.
Anyway, a few years ago, I received an assortment of plants in a basket and only one of the plants survived (surprise!). A Jasmine plant. It gave me the most beautiful flowers with such a lovely scent - I loved that plant! But, of course, it was living with me and so it didn't take long before it died. But I liked it so much that I asked Jonny to buy me another and I'm trying again.
Lo and behold, 3 months into this relationship and I have flowers. Not only this one, but 5 more on the way and 4 before it! That's like, 7 more than I got out of the last plant and in less than half the time. I think the key is regular watering.... Here's hoping!
