Steemit Monthly Author Challenge #6-2019 - Day 26 || Love at first sight
#Monthlyauthorchallenge initiated by @steemit-mac
Today story is about love at first sight and... gloxinias. 🙂
Last Autumn I was wondering the flowers market trying to enjoy the beauty and not planning how to refrain from buying more plants. I mean... I have so many that I could open a botanical garden.
Among the many wonderful plants smiling at the potential buyers, there she was... the only one missing from my collection: gloxinia. Its beautiful bell shaped flowers were luring me with their colorful petals. I was mesmerized but, luckily, empty-pocket.
Looking down in dismay, I saw a leaf... a gloxinia leaf lingering among the passers feet. Pure luck or just the faith? I couldn't say.... I just picked the leaf despite the vendor's surprised look and headed back home.
Several months later, there she is. A beautiful amazing red wonder. Yes, love at first sight and a happy ending for both of us. We were meant to be together. 😊
Check out the challenge started by me and @erikah, SeasonChallenge. We would love to learn about your impressions towards the Summer (these being the theme until 2nd of September).

You did grow this beauty from a leaf! Amazing.
