Slc Love Castle x C Candy Tuft

[Piper]

This is a compact floof. It's actually a flying compact floof - this is the soccer ball I was kicking around my living room in April.

While recovering from knee surgery, I mishandled pots from time to time and this guy got unpotted and then sat bare root on my kitchen counter for about two weeks (standing to repot was difficult then). I threw a damp paper towel over the roots from time to time. I was tempted to just toss it (out) since it had been growing like a weed in the 14 months I had it, but had never rebloomed.

I finally repotted it and as I was putting it back, I tripped and tossed the pot again. At this point, ready to cry, I repotted it yet again. Three days later I noticed a bud! (Talk about tough love). I would have expected many more buds, but I'm sure the vacation on the kitchen counter effected that.

Anyway, it is a pretty little thing (3" flower), despite a slight inward curl of its lower lip.
