My dear mother learned her lesson after the incident with the tulips from my class ring ceremony and gave me balloons for my LDS Institute of Religion graduation.
"Okay, Savannah. You see this balloon? It has a special sealer, so it should last at least 3 weeks. Much longer than one week."
Oh! I was such a good mother to my balloons! The big princess balloon lasted at least 5 weeks and still fightin' strong!
My friend, Martin, thought this whole episode of "Savannah kills things" just too much. He stole my flower pot and declared that he would make me fake flowers of some sort that would last longer. He believed that no flowers could stand a chance against my incompetency.
A week or so goes by... where's my flower pot, Martin?
And this I get back from out of town and find this in my apartment...
Hahaha...Okay, thanks.
But aren't they gorgeous!? And I'm happy to report, it's been two weeks and they're very much alive!!
But they did scare me for a bit. I thought the plant was dying, because it sheds flowers like no other. Everywhere.
But it's alive and kicking!
Thank you!
