Wanda Frezon had a Century Plant bloom just for her.

A story I did in 2007 about Wanda Frezon of Chattanooga, Oklahoma. She saw a century plant as a little girl, and waited her whole life to see another one. This time, it bloomed just for her. Wanda passed away in April, 2017.

That is really great to hear! They are such neat plants, I think that everyone should have a chance to see them. This was the last story I did for KSWO-TV 7 News in Lawton, OK. I now work for a station in Oklahoma City. I am glad you liked the story. It was a very special assignment to work on.

Thank you for this beautiful story and video of Wanda and her blooming Century Plant. There is currently also a blooming Century Plant in Virginia Beach VA on Pacific Avenue which is only a few years old--the bloom is a total surprise. What an honor for Wanda to see her own plant bloom in her lifetime. I agree with her that many of us take a lesson away from seeing it. It's an incredible expression of the force and beauty of nature and its cycles. Thank you Wanda, and Chattanooga Channel 7.

Great video, we were all touched by such a precious story. Terrific job of including her almost spiritual connection to this plant.

Thank you, newswxshooter, for the correction--Chattanooga OKLAHOMA! I love the way this video captures the beauty of the plant, Wanda's warm appreciation of it, and the wonder of this emblem of nature. Again, thank you, and good luck in OK City.
