Unpeaceful
A while ago, I showed you a photo of my lovely peace lily in bloom for the first time in six years. I am sorry to break the bad news to you, but that plant is now dead. It is brown and shrivelled and very dead. I am not happy about this and less happy about the fact that it was my own fault for not having watered it sufficiently.
I propagated it some time ago, so all is not lost. That plant is on the kitchen window sill, yellowing.
I was recently reminded about the benefits of watering plants with leftover cold tea out the teapot. Unfortunately, I use teabags. I’ll just have to make my second peace lily a special cup whenever I make myself one, although I’ll have to leave hers to cool before I give it to her and remember about it later, and prevent Colin from pouring it away.
Mmm, tea. Yes, I think I’ll make those cuppas now.
