In 2021, we brought home a small Tabebuia sapling and gave her a permanent home in front of our house. Since then she's been nurtured lovingly by me and other family members too. Bheema helps out by adding nitrogen at times and aerating the soil at other times.
Hidimbaa is growing well. I'd even say thriving! She's probably 15 feet tall already. She has surprised us with her resilience, withstood many a storm during last year's incessant heavy rains and some crazy heat! She has smartly avoided the electric wires and is growing around them. Not a single branch in between those high tension cables. That's not us. We've not broken a single leaf off of her. It's all her natural intelligence!
But how does she know?! Is she reacting to electro magnetic waves?
We're all eagerly waiting for her to sprout her first flower. Don't know if it'll be this summer or next!
And if you're wondering why we named her Hidimbaa... Well, we already had a naughty Bheema in the house! 😉
