Happy Plant

You know what a happy plant is yes?..Yeah that’s right one that grows beautifully and looks awesome…Well I’m not talking about that kind hehehe, I’m talking about the one we call Happy Plant…

P1040315

due to them growing hardy up here and a nice green large leaf we have several on the block..

Anyways the past week we have had a beautiful perfume on the block lovely smell inside the house and very very strong almost heady spin outside.We thought it was the frangipani tree but on looking at it it only had a few blooms so we knew it wasn’t that.

Then hubby says the happy plant has flowers-like he was really shocked he has never seen it flower nor had I so last night  off I went and took some pics…

P1040314 well just look at that flower, sure looks different and I smelt it ermm yeah very very very faint perfume..so I was a tad puzzled..then an hour or so later the heady perfume started to float on the air again..So I head of downstairs and outside to check out the direction of smell and sure enough it was from the happy plant’s and to my shock the flowers had changed so I rushed back upstairs and got the camera…

P1040333 Just have a look at that hey..what a clever plant

keeping it’s precious scented inners protected from the damaging daylight-and opening up in the evening to share it’s beautiful perfume..

And no sewing happening here..am struggling to keep my eyes open for long..and am just brain dead from my new job..am sure things will settle down in a few more weeks..

Oh yeah and my )(*^%*&^$(*&^%$)( desktop computer is having on hellauva hissy fit..needs to be brain washed and re set grrrr….so it’s Lappy (laptop) for me yuk yuk triple yuk….

Cheers Vickie

I had an indoor Happy Plant that flowered once, about 25 years ago. I had forgotten that! :) It was a surprise to us, as we had never heard of it. It only flowered that one time. I kept hoping! Same as my Jade plant. It only flowered once. It didn't close up during the day, though, so I guess that must have been because it was indoors.

I know we live in the same country but I'm feeling like I live on a different planet right now.
Flowering Happy plants? I've only ever seen them in a pot and certainly not flowering.
Fireworks? Banned in this state, have been for about 30 years or so.
I can sympathize with the lap top though, I'm on mine while my grandsons are on the other two.
I need a Flowering Happy Plant right now!
