She’d had this peace lily for several years without a bloom.
She had tried everything from giving it more water, less water, feeding, turning, moving it to other locations… nothing.
In fact, it was looking quite sad.
She began talking to it, connecting with it’s energy, touching it in a gentle way and asking it what it needed.
A couple of weeks later she noticed what looked like a tiny blossom.
Sure enough.
And then two blossoms!
