Couldn't resist. I had to have it.
Now let's see how quickly I can kill it.
Wait - that's creepy, calling it an "it." Serial killers de-humanize their victims in such fashion. "It puts the lotion in the basket, or else it gets the hose."
(BUT....if I name it, and then kill it, that's probably creepier, right? Not to mention, I'm keeping it in a basket, and it does get the hose sometimes. Just a trickle, though.)
Anyway.......I found this at a local nursery. It's a fuschia.
Apparently they are really easy to kill via overwatering, and they aren't too keen on heat. So, it's the perfect plant for a girl like me, who knows nothing about gardening, doesn't realize she knows nothing about gardening, has an itchy trigger finger (at least where those spray gun garden hose nozzle attachment thingies are concerned), and lives in a place where the summer temps reach triple digits.
It's just that.....it was soooo prettttttttyyyyyyyy.
I had to have it.
Wow.
Sobering moment of self-awareness. That stupid "Which character from Lord of the Rings are you?" Facebook application was right. I am Gollum. With a garden trowel.
