Every Spring I bitch and moan about buying flowers because a green thumb I do not have.
I claim to anyone who will listen that I'm surprised the weeds are still alive in the front yard. I forget to water, I don't cover my flowers when the nights get chilly, but somehow they all survive. Sometimes they even thrive beyond any of my expectations. I know! It's shocking to me too!
Being a person who claims to not have a green thumb, what in the hell possessed me to buy a living plant? It's
Yet somehow a pretty pink prim rose is still keeping on.
This is what shows up in my house when a pretty little girl decides to get not pretty by throwing up all over the place! Did the flower make her better? Sure we can go with that. Now I suppose I should water the thing before it shrivels up and dies.

I kill everything, with the exception of the cherry tomatoes I helped my daughter plant over the summer. I was so worried that they would die on us that I became obsessed with keeping them alive. She was thrilled with the harvest but only ate one before declaring, "I like the ones you buy at Trader Joe's better". I guess next time I'll try to keep some flowers alive!

There ha never been a plant to survive within these walls. Well, the fake ones do.
I love having tons of flowers outside. Now inside is a different story....I kill them all.

Pretty flower!
Good luck keeping it alive. I have a black thumb, but every once in awhile I get a tree/plant that lives despite my ability to neglect it. :) PS THANK you so very much for adding my little button to your post. Makes my heart happy.
I used to kill everything but now I'm getting a little better!
It's very pretty! I kill flowers, too.
African Violets are THE BEST plant to have for people like you (us) who have no green thumb at all. You just leave them, water them maybe once every two weeks and they are good to go.
