yellow rose

my friends matt & jeanette had their baby shower back in january, and at each table there was a li'l potted flower. when the flowers were given away as door prizes, my table was instantly a chorus of "no, no ... YOU take it. i'll kill it." so i decided to be brave and let it die at my house.

sure enough, none of the half a dozen buds ever bloomed. they dried out & looked sad, instead. so i decided to try watering it on a regular basis. and like magic - i got some fresh leaves, a fresh bud and a bloom! amazing!

now that i've nurtured this one yellow rose, the rest of the plant can die without any guilty feelings. :)
