Plant homicide

A couple of weekds before christmas my co-worker

brought us each in a beautiful poinsettias. After about a week,

A and E’s looked like this

And mine looked like this.

This isn’t the first time either. My grandmother had this huge philodendron on her coffee table for as long as I can remember, at least 20 years. When she passed away it was one of the things I got. I actually managed to keep it alive for about 9 years, looking a little worse each year. Finally this year I tossed it out. It was pathetic.

Then there is this plant. My mom has one of these plants, it is huge. This one is just pathetic.

OOPS ~ just turn your head sideways.

I have committed plant homicide more times than I care to admit.
