Class of 2006: Second Chance

[lblanchard]

jackiejj would never have tossed out upwards of two dozen Hippeastrum bulbs just because they hadn't bloomed yet. Even if she knew they (probably) had a virus.

I don't remember thinking that, but I'm pretty sure it was rattling around in the back of my mind when I went down to the basement this morning, picked those bulbs out of the trash, and stuck them back in a windox box planter surrounded by an assortment of potting mixture and dismembered hippeastrum roots. I set the planter on the basement floor right next to the grow lights. All right, guys, I said to them. If you sprout, you get a second chance. If you bloom, you get to live.

I'm just a big green softy.

I just finished a grant proposal for another client so I feel I can goof off for a few minutes in celebration. Now I htink I'll go read Teh Facebooks and Teh Google+.
