Back in 2003 John's roommate at the time (Kirk) purchased this plant. It was affectionately, well maybe not affectionately but anyway, they called it the love plant. It was to symbolize John and my relationship which at the time was non-existent. They didn't water or tend to it, in many ways it was ignored but somehow it grew! (The parallels between the plant and our relationship are un-canny!) When John and Kirk moved out John got the love plant. We then replanted it into this lovely Wal*Mart special pot and it's been doing well ever since. That was the case until about two weeks ago I was cleaning the house and decided to water our plants and give them some sun. They are not by any windows so I placed them out on the balcony while I did other chores. In all my cleaning excitement I left them out a little too long. Our other plants were fine soaking up all the sun they could get (they are also in the ivy family) however our poor little love plant didn't take to well to the sun. Since then the majority of it's leaves have fallen off and it's turning yellow in spots as you can see from the above photos (it once was full and beautiful). A sad story indeed. Apparently I gave it too much love. You can only imagine what the implications of this will be on our relationship! Maybe I should cut back to hand shakes only with John?...yeah that's not going to happen any time soon.

you guys killed the love plant?!?!?!?!?!?!
What happened to the Like Plant???
Murders... who was crazy enough to give a plant sunlight and water!!!
This is a sad day. A sad day indeed.
I guess I forgot the ers in Murderers...
whoops.
I was emotional...
And to get the facts straight... I was the only one that purchased it... I believe at a Smiths... or was it Lowe's... one of the two. The Kevin love plant was purchased at Lowe's but it died before I gave it to him. Just like that relationship did...
yes, it is funny, but remember, it is just a plant!!!!!! hey, you want to send me some of that excitement for cleaning??? don't really have any of that....
