Nana's hearts by kali66

Nana's hearts

When i visited my sister in May she had a String of Hearts plant which it turned out had been our Nana's. I remember sleeping in a spare room when we visited her as children where her string of hearts trailed right around the room. Unfortunately the plant had seen better days but i snipped off a couple of strands and left instructions for my sister to bring the plant back to health. I put the snippets onto a damp paper towel and put them in my luggage and put them in potting mix when i got home, they sat there all winter but as the weather warmed suddenly started growing! My son has it on his windowsill and today he came and told me the plant was flowering, such unusual little blooms
This is so heartwarming and lovely that this plant lives on. The image is gorgeous

Lovely story to your photo, gloriously low key and on black it truly pops!

Wow, this pops on black. My Chain of Hearts is flowering with the blooms looking other worldly. The plant was given to me by one of my granddaughters about four yeas ago.
Love your composition.

@ethelperry i have never seen flowers like these before. I wonder who will inherit yours and take care of it, it must be at least 50 years since my Nana got it!
@claycameras it really has come alive compared to the half dead version my sister has, i hope she has watched the video i sent her about it and made an effort to revive it, but amazing what a survivor the plant is
