The Story of a Plant


A few months before we got married, I moved into what would be "our" apartment. At one point, I acquired a beautiful hanging plant. It had cute and dainty little leaves that flowed over the edge of the pot.

I realized that there was very little light coming into our apartment and so I found a spot where it could get as much light as possible. The problem with this was that it was up high and I am short. It was hard to remember to water it and hard to reach to water it. As a consequence, my lovely plant died.

I haven't been able to identify it (even with all the books and websites I've aquired while getting a horticulture degree). I think it is some kind of baby's-tears, but it isn't exactly like the others I've seen. I've looked at just about every place that sells plants to find another one and I've even bought plants that I thought were it. I've never been successful until yesterday!!!

I was about to go to the checkout at the grocery store, when I was looking down at the plants they had out on display. There it was! I can't believe that I've been searching for this lovely little plant for about 7 years and I finally found it!!!

Now I just have to keep this one alive!
