The Amazing Lazarus

Lazarus looking pretty droopy, though this isn't the worst that he's been
Lazarus just a few hours later after a good long drink

So this is our plant, the amazing Lazarus. He dies pretty much daily, to the point that one day I was about to throw him away. I gave him some water instead and he perked right back up. This is the plant for me, since I frequently forget to water our houseguests. I recommend this type of plant for adoption by my fellow plant-killers (he is a primrose). I encourage you to not neglect your plants like I have.

I guess I will need to work on developing the watering habit before I am charged with caring for Andrew's dad's bonsais that he has had for 10+years. I don't know if they are amazing like Lazarus.

Not gone, just stumped

I have said previously that I have a continuous blog post running through my head but no time to type it up, but not this time.  Over this last month I have stolen a few moments in which to update the blog but everytime my post lacks inspiration and cohesiveness so it gets filed away in the drafts never to be read.  Maybe when I get my inspiration back I'll become a famous blogger and years after I've written the final blog post those drafts will be released as a "forgotten unfinished post attributed to none other than..."  Ok, I serious doubt that, but it worked for Picasso and Mozart, right?

In the interest of not having the most stagnant blog on the blogosphere and in hopes that someone will keep following this blog, I'll just throw some really random photos and stories out there.  In the meantime, send some inspiration my way!

Does anyone recognize this tree?  It has beautiful large white flowers and fuzzy leaves.  The buds are large and fuzzy before the flowers pop out.  I think I want to plant this kind of tree.
