Maiden Hair

Have you ever grown Maiden Hair successfully?
If you have you know it needs just the right position, light, water, temperature etc etc to truly flourish.....
These delicate ferns are beautiful when they are doing well.  They tend to be very forlorn when they are suffering any neglect!

In our household we have a pot of Maiden Hair that almost died recently.  Everyone was busy doing important stuff and it got a bit neglected and almost perished.  But the amazing thing is that with just one little tender touch and a few sips of water in a short time a whole new frond of beautiful delicate life sprouted up without any supervision at all.  Now it looks as if it might spring into life again.

Yes we will need to keep nurturing and caring for the wellbeing of our Maiden Hair.

How much more do we forget to tend our close relationships and only notice the parched or dying fronds of our life. We get busy.  We neglect to be kind or gentle with ourselves and with others. We get parched and some parts of us dry up and even die.  Yet new life can come and even flourish with a tender touch or word or prayer or just a sip of fresh water. Can you take the time to tend the delicate and beautiful parts of your garden soul?
