A good decision

[billeyler]

A couple of months ago, I decided to dump the 10-year-old scroungy-looking Pathos that had been in the stairwell planter and replace that with African Violets and something that looks like miniature Easter lilies when in bloom (I lost the tag!).

Along with the new plants, a refurbishing of the planter with rust-proofing and a fresh stone-like paint job and I'm much pleased with the results.

I'm envious. Both Randy and I have black thumbs.

With the possible exception of Irving, The Living Xmas Tree, who thrived on our patio despite the neglect we lavished upon it until a freeze killed it off right after we moved into the Sunnyvale house.

But Irving's dead, so our black thumb reputation is safe. Or something like that.

I'll send a picture of my Croton Failure tomorrow. ;-)

Don't be deceived into thinking *I* have a green thumb! If it's not black, it's more like shades of gray

Trust me, those plants would have been dead ten minutes after being brought in our front door.
