Blossoming On Your Own
The Grasshopper checked in years ago with this horticultural tidbit: “Blooming is the job of the flower.”
It sounded like a line from the 70s TV show Kung Fu, until I let it germinate for a bit.
It seems we can plant seeds, cultivate them, give them water and nutrients but when it comes to blooming, we really have no role or control.
The flower or plant will bloom on its own, or not.
Have you ever planted something, followed all the recommended protocols and still got no bloom for the buck? Stop fretting. You did all you could do – the blossoming is not up to you.
Case in point: The Home and Garden Show comes to my area every February, not a time of year for natural blooming. So the growers “force bloom” the flowers under artificial conditions so they’ll be attractive for the show.
Artificially blooming with people is a disservice. It doesn’t allow them to blossom on their own: to have their own trials, failures, and successes. This causes them to seek out artificial methods – shortcuts – as the norm rather than the exception.
Shortcuts will cut your successes short. You may look good for the show but you’ll go home and wilt.
If you’re into force blooming, let me borrow a phrase from photography guru Peter Hurley: “Stop it now!”
People and plants blossom on their own. Your job is to get out of the way and let it happen, or not. You’ve done your job; now let them do theirs.
All the best,
John
