Ollie woke up this morning and was greeted by a most unexpected sight.
The little shrivelled red radish that showed the least promise has brought forth a tiny pink bloom.
He couldn’t believe his aging feline eyes and had to look at the little pot several
times.
And yes, there is a REAL 4 petaled pink blossom smiling coyly back at him!
“Thank you for not tossing me away when my leaves were barely alive,” Red Radish 3 seemed to say.
Ollie was glad that he had given this late bloomer of a radish her own pot and asked her to take her time to grow.
He had been watering her each day and helping her to catch the sun’s rays.
There was no pressure on her to achieve the same height and blossom like the rest in order to receive his love and care.
Ollie is just grateful that she can feel the sun and enjoy the water.
As she regularly faces the Goddess of Compassion, Ollie decides to name Red Radish 3, “Avaloki.” ♥️
