Friday Flora: Porque Non Los Dos Edition

[lebateleur]

Today was Car Maintenance day, for which I rose early. As this took me outside the city, and I had several hours to cool my heels, and it was too rainy to walk around outside, I opted to walk around in a nearby Suburban Ur-Mart instead.

Suburban Ur-Mart had a variety of fetching houseplants on display. I had a credit card from whose issuer I had recently received a sternly worded letter advising me that they were going to close the account if I didn't buy something with the card soon. Closing the account, of course, would lower my credit score which is a) bullshit, and b) not something I'm keen to have happen while I'm in the midst of finding a new place to live.

This was a problem I could mediate with a new plant.



Of course, I walked away with two, because I did not already have a peace lily or a dark purple quill plant and the prices were better than in the city, so why not both?

これで以上です。

Agree that the way credit works in our society is total BS. But hey, plants! Nice plants. I've never owned either of those plants but I have seen them around before, especially the peace lily. Do you think it'll be hard to take care of?

I'll obviously know better when I've had it around for awhile, but I've heard that so long as you keep them out of direct window sunlight and don't overwater, they'll thrive. So we shall see.

I already have a pink quill, which finished flowering and has already pupped at least three baby plants, so I feel like I'm already on good footing with the purple quill.

Good luck! And good job on your pink quill; it sounds like you're doing an excellent job already.
