Impending disaster

The unthinkable has happened! I am so UNBELIEVABLY pathetic that I treat my potplant, Lila, like a child.

And now a horrible thing has happened. Her little bud, that was sprouting so beautifully, seems to have snapped at the stem! This happened a number of months ago as well, and I have been waiting for weeks, (even months!) for a new sprout to grow. So this beautiful fiery-red bloom was reaching for the sun and I was SO PROUD AND I KNEW THAT THIS ONE WOULD FLOWER.

But today I looked over at her lovingly and NOTICED SHE HAD SNAPPED. I performed emergency surgery on her using sticky tape, and so far she seems to be ok.

But I am so, so scared :( she is a fragile little being and I can't handle the pressure of being her parent.
