The other morning, my husband was putting on his tie as he was getting ready for work and I thought I heard him talking softly, but I wasn't sure if he was talking to me. I heard him say, "Hmm? What? Now? Oh, okay!"
I looked at him rather strangely and said, "What did you say? Are you talking to me?"
He looked at me quite calmly and stated, "No, I was talking to the plant and it told me that it wants to go out NOW!"
"Oh...," said I. "Funny... I didn't hear it say anything."
Says he, "That's because it was whispering to me. It knew you were busy and didn't want to disturb you."
As you can imagine, by this time, I'm beginning to worry.
Says he, "Do you know why it wants to go out NOW?"
"No, why?" said I.
As he looked at me with that "little twinkle" in his blue eyes he said, "Because it is IMPATIENS!"
It is, I must admit, a most beautiful, full, gorgeous, hanging Impatiens plant which has bright, glossy green leaves and eye catching coral-colored petals. [By the way, what you see is the exact color of our Impatiens!] It makes us "proud" to see what has become of this magnificent blooming wonder.
When it was first adopted, it was still very pretty, but a bit on the thin side and somewhat petite and, quite honestly, I wasn't sure if it would make it. Surprisingly, though, hubby has taken very good care of his little Impatiens by feeding it FAITHFULLY with love and his special TLC every other week.
Since a few of our nights have dropped their temperatures he, again, faithfully brings Impatiens inside where it can stay warm and cozy. In the morning, before hubby leaves for work, he takes his little Impatiens and puts it outside to hang around so that it can enjoy the warm Autumn sun.
We are hoping that the continuous feeding every other week, during the Winter season, will allow it to remain full and happy until it can go outside once again in the Springtime. For the Winter, I'll just let it hang around in front of the kitchen window where the sun brightly shines during the morning hours and into the early afternoon.
