Well, everyone treats their plants differently, and if threats are made in love, then it isn't quite the same. Perhaps it comes from being raised in a family where creative threats are the norm, or maybe I'm just really weird.

Anyway, my calla lilly bloomed, as you can see, then didn't bother putting up anymore blooms. So next year, I'm thinking a combination of more threats, and more coffee grounds should induce at least two blooms!!! If not, into the compost heap it will go. Or at lease an unloved part of the garden, where it can ignore me all it likes.

The funny thing about my Acidanthera is that the ones in the backyard are STILL blooming. I don't know why. They usually have died back by now, but some of the stalks are still putting out blooms. I've been tempted to cut them back, but I enjoy the flowers too much to do so til they've decided to go dormant for the rest of the season.
