Alright, spill the beans. Have you named any of your plants yet?

Candice

The first question that comes to mind is do you know the common name/species of that third plant now? You got a snake plant, bird of paradise, and "oh man, I forget the name of the other plant, I'm gonna have to google it...". *game show host voice* Name. That. Plant! <3 It's totally fine to forget, happened to me all the time when the plants I had were not food plants - I have habaneros and some failing radishes that I think squirrels are digging in.

Do you feel your relationship with other plants has changed at all? Like do you notice plants more often and think "I want that plant," "that looks like a happy plant," or "are they taking good care of this plant?"

I know parents are not supposed to have favourites, but which is your favourite plant?
