Learning from nature

My mother asked me for a red hibiscus plant 9 months back.

I got her two , one small variety and one big with layers .Both were in the same kind of pots , the gardener asked us to care the same for both , and we did .

Yet the big Hibiscus , which was there on Day 1 , fell off and the small hibiscus , started blossoming everyday .

The big H will have one bud , take a long time to grow and before it can fully bloom it will fall .

The small h plant will give at least one if not three every single day .Soon the small ones were business as usual kind , so while my mother is happy that they bloom every day but she would be very very sad , every time the Big H will fall. Every time there will be a bud ,we all will have our eyes on it .The plant even stopped looking healthy ,I realised my mother was getting sad every time , I said I will change the big H , don't worry and will get a new plant .

As a last attempt after 9 months, we changed all pots , and something strange happened .Since then the small hibiscus has not grown but big H fully bloomed and stayed on and on .

Life is like this , not everyone has the same growth path , some take less time to bloom and some takes more time .They may go through same education system , i.e environment but people are different .What we need is patience and understanding .

We have so much to learn from nature , what else you can learn from the stories of two hibiscus ?
