Wordful Wednesday: Lies!



Easy to grow? Oh yah? Easy to grow?

I think not.



This plant had intentions of dying the minute I bought it. All I had to do was look at it funny and it would droop. I've moved it into the sun, out of the sun, in from the rain, in to the rain. I've talked to it. Left it alone. Dressed sexy for it. Cooked it dinner!

It's turned up its nose(s?) at everything.

This plant is the insolent teenager in my house.

I don't even want to see its stupid fluffy pink flowers at this point. It can take its high maintenance photosynthesizing needs and hit the road.

Or, maybe I'll bury it next to the asparagus. Mwahahaha.

I think it looks like it does not get consistent watering. Just the first thought from it's appearance from a real botanist. And it should be in the shade too. After that I don't know what to say.
