I’ve decided to give Hy as much time as he needs to create a hibiscabloom. Hy is my hibiscus, and I tried to talk him into blooming for Garden Bloggers’ Bloom day on the 15th. You may have read about it. Hy tried, and tried, and tried, but Garden Bloggers’ Bloom day came and went. Hy is still trying. He firmly believes that he can. History is a pretty good predictor of the future. Hy has been successful in the past, so my bet is that he will bloom soon.
Hy can have as long as he needs. After all, no matter how much time you gave me, I couldn’t do it. What Hy is doing is miraculous. Give me all the biological and botanical explanation you want, its still miraculous.
Man thinks he has this whole create thing down. After all, if God told man to create a new flower, man could. But as soon as He tells us to make our own raw materials, the party is over.
Accordingly, I will continue in my anticipation phase while Hy is doing his magic. And I’ll be thankful to God that Hy can do his thing, and I can do mine. My two miracles took a little longer, 9 months each to be exact. And one of them is now a professional photographer who took this lovely picture for me.
Come back in a few days. I’ll let you know how Hy is doing.
