Sentimental

[poliphilo]

We buy lots of plants.

Aliz likes cactii and I like things that aren't cactii.

Every surface in the house is groaning under the weight of our little green friends. 

Often we buy them because we feel sorry for them. There was a whole passel of sunflower plants in Lidl the other day. They hadn't been watered and they were looking forlorn. I had to have one.

Plants have personalities, don't you think?

So do rocks....

That sounds very familiar, we have way too many (rat-nibbled) house-plants for our little flat, and some of them have grown huge. Barry likes cactii and like non-cactii.

I agree about personalities too - I'm some plants seem to get bored with their surroundings, they can grow hapily there for years then suddenly, nothing's changed but they decide to stop and look sickly until I move them somewhere else.

I've been going round removing plants from window sills this morning (we've got the builders in) and I've had the opportunity to assess them. Gosh, but they're a sorry bunch!
