The Dressed Up Plant

Fantastic news!

The plant is still alive.

I repeat: the plant is STILL alive.

Confused on what I’m talking about? Go ahead and click here for the story.

I’ll wait.

Good?

Okay.

Anyhow, as a lot of people pointed out the plant is called a Peace Lily, which I think is a ridiculous name. If I were in charge of naming plants I’d just go with Annoying Green Things since I can never grow them properly.

I think the neighbor is returning sometime this week and she’ll be pleased to see that her plant is still alive.

And pretty.

I went in to check on it and I saw this:


Natalie decided that the plant needed a bow because it was, as she put it, "too green."

Don't worry, I removed the bow in case it cut off circulation. Or something.

Although now Natalie is saying that she thinks the plant needs a crown.

So now it has to battle two people: one who doesn't always remember to water it and another who wants to dress it up.

Heaven help the Peace Lily.

  2. Good job. I just had to toss one of my plants cause I killed it. I am not even sure if I under watered it or over watered it. Argggggg.

  3. LOL. I am sure your neighbor will be happy when she returns that her beloved plant is still alive and kicking. Gave me a good chuckle this Monday morning. Have a good week.

  4. So she thought the Peace Lily needed a brain squeezer. Or in this case, a plant pincher.

  5. Nice work. I am not great with plants. Even though my house is apparently the "prime plant environment", my black thumb doesn't care.

  11. You still have a few days to go. Did you remember to water it today?

  12. I kill all green things that come into my house so I know the feeling. It's awful to because I can only assume death by dehydration is a horrible way to go. Glad your neighbor's plant is alive and well.

  15. No way! Leave the bow! Brightens it up for sure. Spray some glitter on that bad boy too.

  18. I too am watching plants for a neighbor who is gone for TWO months. If I didn;lt want her to sell me her property so bad after she gets too old to do the upkeep I'd never would have said yes. (Did I just write that out loud?) Anyway only 1 month and 29 days to go. So far so good.

  22. Ah, this is EXCELLENT news. And luckily for me, I read both this post and the backstory today (sorry), so I didn't even suffer any "will Amber kill it?" stress. Win-win. Great job, Mrs. Greenjeans.

  23. How LOVELY it looks with it's gorgeous red bow for Valentine's day - I vote you leave it! GREAT job keeping that thing alive... but you DO know that this means you will most likely be asked again at some future time to plant sit, right?!

  24. Woohoo! You totally deserve a trip to Gymboree.
