About two weeks ago Richard and I went to a dinner thing at a good friends house. As a hostess gift we decided to bring fresh cut flowers. It was a beautiful seasonal selection. When we got to her house there was a bit of an ordeal, as she did not have a vase to put them in. Richard explained that we chose the fresh flowers versus something in a pot because "potted plants are such a commitment". This past weekend Our friend and her husband were here for a barbecue. As a gift she brought a potted plant. An orchid. Now it's beautiful, and I have wanted one, but talk about a commitment! Time to give the orchid it's daily "misting"...

She must hate you. That could be the only explanation—only a bonsai would be worse. Think of the guilt after it finally dies (I’m realisitic, not negative…)
