More plant stuff.

Meet Steve. I really don't know why this iris is named Steve, but I want to get me some Steve and plant it somewhere.

Posted here because I was discussing Steve with autumnesquirrel last night, and also because if I put a link to Steve somewhere I'll be able to find it later without finding oneironaut and asking pathetically, "Where's Steve again?"

Isn't Steve pretty?

(I have now lost 'Steve'. Steve, Stevestevesteve. It's not really a word, is it?)

Oooh plants!

I name all of my plants. I don't always remember the names later, but I try.

I used to have a bamboo named Shinji... it died.

Now I have a bamboo named Louis, a mostly dead pine named Fred, an Ivy named Fern (umm, yeah), a Habanero (which is really, really happy) named Mike (though most of the time I don't bother with the name), four tiny cactus of the apocalypse, and a jade and aloe who are ninja and don't bother with stupid little names (I think).

Whoa. I guess I have a few more living plants than I thought.

I had a Swedish Ivy named Shinji. I kept it alive for about a year and a half. Most of the time it was all wilty, sad, and pathetic, and barely alive. Then, one day, for no reason I could determine, it apparently said to itself: "Wait! Life IS worth living after all! I'm happy! I'm going to GROW!" And it did. For about a week. Then it sunk back into its former sad, pathetic state. And then it died.
Shinji really was the appropriate name for it.
