A Surprise Beauty (2012-05-27)
Late last year, I was trying to pluck a few leaves (from weeds) on the side of the road for Efoo to munch on, but I pulled too hard and the roots came out.
Went home, stuck the clump of leaves and roots in some used compost
not expecting them to live.
Surprisingly the tiny "plant" didn't die despite the lack of care
and sporadic watering. Efoo contiued to snack on the leaves
throughout winter and spring.
The plant did grow many more branches but they were mostly stripped
bare whose leaves went into Efoo's stomach.
I spotted some buds on the tip of the branches and thought nothing
of them. Then one day I glanced at the plant and it had all these
beautiful dainty little flowers! What a pleasant surprise.
