Nature is truly a beautiful gift from Almighty and I love reading your post where you share a deep connection between you and nature. I must say that you observe little things around which I can connect by reading the details of the Verdolaga, bonsai, and cochineal cactus. Not only that by with the pieces of nature like the pink Verdolaga reminds you of your aunt. After reading your the bonsai tree you watch at your neighbor’s home I would like to share that I have a bonsai plant too on my veranda. The scent of the cochineal cactus flower must be so appealing which you experienced. Your love for nature is shinning by your words and it’s so pleasant to read your post. Best wishes for you.
