Meandering With Myrn – Episode 62

Limits and Plant Politics

If you’d like to read more about some of the latest plant studies I mentioned and their implications, check out this link.

And here are a few pictures of some of my favorite non-animal household companions. The first is a philodendron that is notable because it’s more than 20 years old. Admittedly, this isn’t any big deal for that species which seems capable of surviving just about anything. This one is in my office. It’s mother lives in my bedroom.

This ivy plant is also in my office and it’s looking a bit shopworn because Bamboo likes it attack it or swing in it when he gets bored.

And this is a special favorite, a Christmas cactus that’s even older than the other two. Bam also did a number on it when he was a kitten, but it came back after I cat-proofed it by putting double-sided tape around the top of the wicker basket it sits on. If you look carefully, you might be able to see its first tiny pale pink buds on the ends of some of its dark green branches. I always look forward to its cascade of gaudy deep pink blossoms during the darkest days of the year.
