I absolutely love this flower.

I have these same flowers in my flower boxes in the front of our house. Impatiens, if I recall correctly. This flower was one of several that were leftover from the flat I had bought. The few leftovers were still in the flat, and had been languishing out on the deck for weeks.

One day, Jack took it upon himself to plant this one. He never said a word, just got about planting it, and I didn’t discover it until later on. He chose a spot between our two air conditioning units – normally a drab spot, just an area with some dirt.

Whereas it used to a spot to avoid even looking at it, I now find myself looking forward to coming down the deck stairs on my way out the gate so I can check on Jack’s flower.  It’s so pretty and it seems to be just flourishing.  When I pointed out to him how well I thought it was doing, he proudly told me, “That’s because I have a green thumb!”
