Spring in my room

[mothwing]

I don't do plants. Every plant I ever had died within a few  months, because I either gave them too much or too little water. The only two plants that have survived this are two very trusted, resilient cacti which have been living in my room for years now. They just don't die. They are really not pretty, but somehow I never dared to throw them away or give them away because they are obviously alive. Not exactly thriving, as nothing does in my room, but they outlived a lot of cyclamens and other plants.

I barely ever look at them, and they don't ever change.
They're cacti. Cacti are really not that fascinating, and they never really change. Occasionally, they'd dry up and I'd have to water them, only to leave them alone for another few months.

This way, I did missed something I wouldn't have missed otherwise:

Beautiful flower! Cacti do that rarely, but if they do blossom, it's always astounding.

It iiiis! It's been a while since I felt that honoured by a plant, seriously.

One does feel honoured when they blossom, eh? :)

I think it's actually only the third or so time in my history as a plant-owner that one of my plants bloomed under my care (not counting those I'd bought blooming). Usually, they just die. o.O

Reminds me of my experience with plants...
