I was surprised really as I've been buying these little ones every Easter for years now and they always come out in such a beautiful burst of colour. They really brighten up the home and bring the sunshine in.

Yes, motivation and hope is important, but in order to succeed, one has to take the right actions. Doing "the right thing" by instinct doesn't usually work when it comes to different species, but it has a higher success rate if it is based on studying, and "understanding". <br />Take this daffodils example: they're early spring flowers, that means their optimum environmental temperature (in case they are not genetically modified) is somewhere between 10 to 15 degrees Celsius. And temperatures above 20deg.C (expected temperature in an apartment) would constantly send them the message "girls, your time is over for this year, go to sleep".<br />You wanted them to grow, you hoped for them to grow, but you didn't ensure the basic conditions to complete their vegetative cycle. <br />Nurturing something requires understanding of its nature.<br />PuzzleTMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14160254887777560569noreply@blogger.com
