The makings of a miraculous recovery

After an amazing outpouring of concern from friends far and wide, we are happy to report that our wee Bunkermate appears to have survived (just barely) the vicious attack she suffered last week.

She spent the weekend recuperating in the windowed annex to the Bunker, soaking up the sunlight that is so completely lacking within the Bunker. And as a result, the prognosis is quite good.

Last Friday it appeared that only a single leafed stalk survived the attempted decapitating blow. Miraculously, however, petals sprung forth over the weekend on a second stalk. And tiny buds on two or three other stalks hold the promise of new flowers.

Yes, she's a fighter...and an inspiration to all. With luck she'll pull through and bloom once more.
