A couple weeks ago I had a birthday, and my lovely parents sent me flowers. I couldn't believe the difference having real flowers made in the feel and the SMELL of my apartment! I got to see them bloom, and then unfortunately die. I've now developed a desperate need to have something green in my home. However, I don't want another bouquet. I want a living, breathing(?) plant. One that won't die on me.
Now, in the next couple of years I would very much like to get a dog; so while pondering over a houseplant, I was considering whether such a venture would prepare me for dog ownership. I've heard it said that keeping a plant is like a first step on the ladder of caring for other creatures. Do you agree with that? Do you think that if you fail to keep a plant alive, that that says something about your ability to care for an animal or possibly another human being? I'm not sure how I feel about that. What do you think?
