“Making room for a new leaf” my foot!

My ex used to insist the same thing, she had an entire collection of dead plants on the window sill. I always wondered, why didn’t she just water them while they were still alive?

It’s turning into a dried arrangement.

My mom in law was unbelievable with any plant. She could take a stick from a rose bush, stick it in the ground. Next year…..a gorgeous rose bush. Me, I would still have just a stick in the ground.

Give it up, Opal.

Get out the chain saw Earl

But sometimes they do that! I have a grape vine that did it!

Repeat of yesterday…… just different dialogue – Still funny though.

most of my plants look like that sooner or later…..I do NOT have a green thumb.

It’s just turning over a new leaf.

There used to be a product on the market that got a lot of rave reviews called Naturize. For potted plants, you needed to re-pot them first.

It’s just pining for the fjords.

Be careful, Earl – it could be… The THING!!!

More likely plant died from too much care. Approximately 80% gardening problems, indoors and out, are related to watering too often.

this current thread is starting to sound like monty python’s parrot bit. “it’s not dead it’s resting”

My silk flowers die.

Considering how many times she has watered it in this arc, I am now convinced it died from over-watering.

Mr. Praline: Never mind that, my lad. I wish to complain about this parrot what I purchased not half an hour ago from this very boutique.

Owner: Oh yes, the, uh, the Norwegian Blue…What’s,uh…What’s wrong with it?

Mr. Praline: I’ll tell you what’s wrong with it, my lad. ’E’s dead, that’s what’s wrong with it!

Owner: No, no, ’e’s uh,…he’s resting.(Opal must have got her plant from the same shop)

Opal’s a “glass is half full” gal.
