We are not born all at once, but by bits. The body first, and the spirit later; and the birth and growth of the spirit, in those who are attentive to their own inner life, are slow and exceedingly painful. Our mothers are racked with the pains of our physical birth; we ourselves suffer the longer pains of our spiritual growth. (Mary Antin)

Not what I expected

This gladiolus is pretty, but was not supposed to be pink. This is a picture of the package that the bulbs came in:
See how the flowers are deep orange, and not frilly, a lot like freesia flowers? That is why I bought this particular variety. Instead, I got frilly, and bicolor, and pink. There is a "guarantee" on the package, that states if I'm not happy, I can return the packaging for a refund. Well, I'm not happy, but getting sent a check for $2.99 would trivialize my pain.
