As l reflect on 2023, l was pleasantly surprised with another synchronicity from nature which captures the lessons of growth beautifully.
Swipe ➡️ to see the timeline of the 8-year transformation journey of my small but mighty Tillandsia ionantha. 🌿
2016 - one of the very first air plants l adopted when l first started my plant collection
2018 - she bloomed radiantly on New Year's Eve and gave rise to two twin pups shortly thereafter, which continued to grow by her side 🌱🌱
2021 - her twin daughters are now full grown, with one daughter ready to blossom again. After blooming, she gave rise to her own pup, her first granddaughter! 🌱
2023 - her 2nd twin daughter is now fully matured and blooming, 2 full years after her twin sister, as 3 generations continue their life journey side by side

𝘖𝘶𝘣𝘢𝘪𝘵𝘰𝘳𝘪 is the Japanese concept that each flower blooms at its own time, and in their individual ways.
In the era of year-end highlight reels where comparison to others has become all too common, nature's wisdom reminds us that everyone has their own unique journey through life.
There are seasons for planting seeds, seasons for nurturing and nourishing, and seasons for blooming - each is a necessary part of growth.
To everyone who has been a part of my growth journey this year, thank you from the bottom of my heart. 🫶🏻
As we step into 2024, l hope my creations will serve as a gentle reminder that whichever season you are in, we are all blooming beautifully, at our own pace. 🌸
