Yay!

I finally got a new vinca! For those of you who never visited me in Orlando, you should know that I had a nice little balcony greenery area going on at my apartment there, which all started with a purple-flowered vinca named Guido. My friend Kristen and I found Guido near death in a movie theater parking lot--"If he's still sitting there when the movie's over," I told her, "I'm taking him home and saving him." He was there, so I took him. We went to the Fashion Square mall after the movie, and when we got there I got some water in a bottle and took it to water Guido in the car. And over the next few weeks, I nursed him back to health and named him, and then one morning I went outside and he had purple flowers, so I decided he was gay. But he gave me plenty of little Guidos, some of whom (I hope) live on. Of the few plants I brought along with me here, the only one who really survived the winter was my bonsai tree, who currently isn't doing well at all. Probably a lost cause. But I've missed having a variety of plants to look after, so I'm starting up again on a smaller scale. I started growing some flowers from seeds, which are starting to sprout nicely. But I'd been wanting to get a new vinca, so today I got a white-flowered one I'm naming Perry. He's cool:



Can't really see his flowers, but they're white and preddy. :)

Oh, and I told Holly I'd take some pictures around the apartment too.. haven't really gotten around to that yet, but here's one I took a few weeks ago of our living room. I wish I had a decent digital camera, so you could really make out details. The entertainment center in the corner is mine, and decorated by me. Very cool. In fact, I'm gonna go get a good picture of it, I think, so you can see how gay I really am. But anyway.. Damn, we have a lot of crap, don't we? :)

Kew.

Okay, this is my corner of the living room, pretty much.. None of the stuffed animals are mine, but pretty much everything else is. Oh, and the lights in the curtains are all green--weird that they came out rainbow colored here. :)
