The Unexpected Bloom

The last thing we would've expect from our once favourite plant was a bloom. It was attacked by a legion of mysterious worms and I had to pruned almost the entire plant few months ago. I had to remove it to the corner of my courtyard because of it's botak look after the trimming session.

Early this week, the unexpected happened. It started to bud. We thought we had seen the best it could do until this morning...

The unexpected bloom took place. It may lasts just a few days, but it was enough to convince us that what we once pronounced "dead" has come alive, and given us much hope. Perhaps it is a pretext to something good to come... let us "die" and see.
