These Desert Roses bloomed on one of our neighbor’s potted plants. The pot had the thick stem for quite some time with an occasional leaf. Then the first flower bloomed and the next day the second one did. They lasted just a few days and now the plant is back to just the big stem and a few leaves. I’m so glad we got plenty of reference photos while they bloomed. These blooms reminded me how most of our days are ordinary. We see green leaves and the foundations of our faith may be getting stronger, but not much color or special beauty in the ordinary. Then there is something special for us to do and we bloom. It may be for a long or short season. We don’t control that, but we should enjoy and share it. I’ve written about the ordinary on my blog. To see that post, click: Ordinary
