Thank you Prashant ji,Prasad ji and Balkar ji for the appreciation. Its a saying that 'Patience reaps fruits and success" for me it was flowers. Actually it was a surprise gift by God rather than patience reaping flowers as I had thought it was just a foliage plant and does not flower. I used to try to cover the pots with umbrellas to prevent the plants getting scorched in the sun and prayed that the plumbing work ends soon.
