I was about to can this gerber from last year, as 80% of the leaves had fallen off or gone yellowish/droopy. I grabbed the pot from the window sill to start extracting the leaves when I noticed the tiniest little furry bud in the center of the leafy dried mass. I figured, what would it hurt to leave it another month and see what happens? Well, lo and behold! A bloom emerges!!

The tiniest bud in the center! |
The little ones have not shown signs of blooming quite yet, they are still relatively small. This larger one I had purchased last year in mid-April, I believe. I will be very pleased if I can get another spring and summer of blooms from this plant!
