| Texas Star Hibiscus, July 2024 |
When we give a seed
there is no calculation
for the blooms to come
* Many years ago, I was at a pool party with the youth group from my church at a family's house. Around the pool were giant pots of Texas Star hibiscus - the first time I ever saw them. When I asked what they were, the mother went into the kitchen and got a baggie to collect some seeds for me. More than 20 years later, I am still excited when it blooms for the first time each summer. I still think of that pool party, those kids, and that mom. Neither of us had any idea that that bag of seeds would lead to decades of beautiful red blooms. And so it goes. Cheers to summer, bright blooms, generous hands, and seeds that grow.
