nature in the home
in 1998 when a friend of mine moved across the country from new jersey to utah, he left his tiny plant with me
when he gave me the plant, it was in a small orange pot (which i still have) and it was maybe a foot tall with possibly eight leaves on it
last week when i read “your favourite plant” as the nature in the home challenge for this week i knew that it meant my beloved Clyde
once a tiny little guy, Clyde is now way taller than me
he has grown into a huge plant with the original branch being the smaller part of him now
he needs a higher ceiling actually
Clyde who i consider my oldest child, has moved with me several times up and down this east coast of the united states
he has also lived with me in many homes
he himself only having had three pots so far
always happy
Clyde is my favorite plant
maybe a bit over the top of me but if anything were to happen to Clyde i would be deeply saddened
joining the lovely Lou for nature in the home
and then there are of course my orchid plants. i love orchids, inside and outside

I love the story behind him and I love seeing the paintings in your home too. I have a ficus plant that a friend left me to look after when she moved to Australia, and nearly 9 years later, I am proud that he is still going strong!
