Someone save the plants!
Nov. 2nd, 2005 12:28 pmIn the foyer of my office are several plants.
Two are two planters with about 4 each of pink and white candy-striped dendrobium orchids. They are gorgeous. (I've never seen dens that color before.) They are apparently well loved, and just fine.
The other two, however, are not. There are two spathiphyllums (is that how you pluralize that?) that are not nearly as showy as the orchids. Apparently this means that they are far less worthy of love. By which I mean, they clearly haven't been watered for at least a week, and their poor little leaves are all drooping over. They look awful. I'd be tempted to sneak over with my coffee cup and give them both a good drink, but then the plant maintenance people might come by and water them again and then they'd drown. (I don't think very much of the plant maintenance people.)
Poor little plants. All they need is love. And a good drink.
