She would store it upstairs in one of the back bedrooms which were cooler and didn't get the sunlight and it was hardly watered at all, if ever for about three months. Then she would bring it out into the sunshine and water it well. There would be so many blooms all over it. She wouldn't turn it once the blooms set on and it had to sit in one window only. Heaven help us kids if we went near it! lol<br />Thank you for the lovely photos of your plants, the fun memory jog and for visiting my blog. Happy New Year to you and all your family! :)Auntie Emhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10395086888097356747noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5047286263309535644.post-92146436779042864442012-12-31T11:04:35.277-06:002012-12-31T11:04:35.277-06:00Happy NewYear to you too Donna (smile :-)
