El Día de Seis Flores


Yesterday my housemate came up to me and said, "You know, today is a special day." I said, "Is it your birthday?"

"No."

"Is it the day you first moved into this house?"

"Oh, no, but that's a good guess."

"What day is it?"

"It's El Día de Seis Flores."

He showed me a large hibiscus plant in a room at the back of the house. During the course of the day six flowers had bloomed on it. They looked really gorgeous. The hibiscus originally belonged to his grandfather in Flagstaff, Arizona.
