Here is a tip for when you are considering things you might do. If you see a place where plants can't grow, then humans should not be trying to grow there either. I have a plant that once had red, spiral leaves and grew very low to the soil. It almost died last year because I couldn't give it any sun. But it came back from the brink of death and it became a whole new plant! Now it's leaves are so green and it is growing tall and reaches up so much higher than the soil. You would barely even recognize it. I think it finally beleives in itself. It stays with my mom.

I have another plant that almost died and now my heart bursts when I see it's new leaf. My friend is always singing this song and somewhere hidden in it there is a little line that says "if I can kill it then I can make it grow". I don't think the song is about plants but sometimes I sing that part when I look at my little plants in the window sill. I miss my plants that have died but I will not forget them. (One awesome cactus, a vanilla plant, another orchid whose name I never knew, and a little tree. The vanilla plant hurt the most because it was the first plant I ever loved. The cactus hurt the second most because I dropped it in the snow while I was moving so I knew it died because of an action of mine, not just from bad circumstances). I want to grow so many plants because I know my heart will keep bursting when they do surprising things. Sometimes though, it really really hurts to have to watch them wilt but it is still worth it to grow them.
