The Muse And I


Remember Erato, the plant I bought a couple weeks ago? I spent quite a lot of today outside, either gardening or just sitting around, and I finally repotted her. (It? Plants are hermaphrodites, but this one is named after a female...) Now she has a nice dark green pot instead of the ugly orangey-brown one she came in.

She's an Aglaonema of the Emerald Beauty variety... The yellowish-white flowers are old; only the pale green one, on the left in the first picture above, actually looks nice.

She looks nice, methinks... I got a couple more plants today to accompany her atop my chest of drawers and desk. But that's not all! I also have a picture of myself, leaning back on the porch railing. Next to Erato. Yeah. For those of you curious about my appearance...

That, however, is all.

Hee... I see YOU!

 

You and my dad have so much in common... plant-wise. We once had a plant like that, but the ants ravaged it.

 

We now have lotuses and fishies! :D

:superfunny:

 

ToM, you finally revealed yourself to the outside world ... and have left your AIM running three nights in a row? Figures this would be when I have no time to tease you. ^_^

 

As to plants, my mother and sister are working nearly nonstop in our yards ... Mom got a part-time job at the local garden centre, so she gets staff discount on everything, and she is bringing home plants by the flat. She and my sister are having a blast: my sister wants to be a gardener (and a chef ... hey, it could work) when she grows up, and she adores plants just like you. I don't think they've named any, though! Both the front yard and the back yard are looking lovely, and it's times like these that I wish I could go outside and work in the garden myself.

 

I do love plants, but overheat much too easily ... just need a cooler day. (Also, a better knowledge of what I was doing would be nice, but you can't have everything I suppose.) Cooler to work, but of course hot and sunny to tan. I plan to read the seventh Harry Potter on my deck, sprawled on a lawn chair, iced tea beside me and slathered in tanning oil ... I figure it'll take me five hours, I should be nice and brown.

 

Which will be a nice change from the wintery Ivory-soap white I am at the moment.

 

Enjoy your plants, Tiome, and sing them a song from me. (Although according to the Mythbusters, heavy metal works the best ... )

Absolutely stunning! Gorgeous! Beautiful!

 

For a plant, that is.

 

And ToM...you don't look the way I imagined you did. Hate to disappoint you. :P
