Weird and sad

March 17, 2007 by Lauren 6 Comments

Kathryn, if you’re reading this – I’m sorry.

Kathryn and I were roommates in college, and she has a very nice little plant that she called Sylvester.  (It was some kind of evergreen-fern thing.  Brad will know.)  Somehow, when school was done I got custody of Sylvester and he traveled many places with us – Minnesota, Maryland, and then back to Seward.  Not being a plant person, I have hated Sylvester for many years now.  He just kept growing taller, skinnier and sad-looking.  He’d drop branches like there was no tomorrow, so it looked like a sickly palm tree.  Lloyd and I have argued about euthanizing him, and this summer Brad said, “Put it outside in the winter. It will die a painless, natural death.”

So we did.

Mission accomplished!  Plant’s dead!  On Lloyd’s second day of yard work we were disposing of the corpse and found this!

A miracle it survived at all

Whaaaa?  Still in tiny pots?  No wonder!  The hilarious thing is that I think Lloyd and Brad repotted this from it’s earlier container, but they just put all the dirt in from the small pot.

This was also found in the dirt.  Kathryn, I think it’s your sleeve.

so pretty!
