A year ago for Easter 2009 my office manager, Linda, brought a beautiful Easter Lily to our H&R Block office where it bloomed beautifully. After it finished blooming, Linda sent it home with me to plant in my garden. Well, I brought it home, put it in the garage, and forgot all about it. It spent the winter in the cold garage with no water, light, or love. This spring about Easter time, I moved some pots and much to my surprise found the lily with a couple of little green sprouts on it. I brought it in the house, gave it lots of sun, water, and a little love and it bloomed beautifully for FATHER'S DAY!!! I know there are some great life lessons to be gained from this pretty flower like persistence, late bloomers, etc. but I just know I enjoyed its beauty and fragrance. Now my question is: should I put it back in the garage and ignore it until next spring or try to keep taking care of it inside?
