As is my winter tradition, we assembled this bulb at the start of December. When we went home for the Winter Holiday, it still hadn't begun to grow.
Winter Break came and went, and our line graph was still flat. I almost gave up on this sleeper! Then, this Little Bulb That Could finally put its resources together to send up a bud!
An important reminder to be patient with slow bloomers! Development sometimes takes its own sweet time, regardless of how much we fret or how often we measure.
Worth the wait, this beautiful bloomer brought us fabulous botany lessons.
