JPPRPP...

Plant, a gift from a friend, came to live with me a while back. What a scary thought. Give me a plant? Did she not hear me say Annie kitty might chew on it? Did she not see the fear in my eyes? Did she not know it was only a matter of time before I would kill it?! Bloom? Oh gosh, NO, not in my hands. Well, surprise, surprise and so the story goes...

"The plant came from my parents' neighbor Margaret Powell. I got it when Margaret's electric stove was down to one burner and I had an "extra" stove in the garage. My sister and brother-in-law hauled the stove up to Margaret. Margaret wanted to pay for the stove, but I wasn't interested. We eventually bargained stove for plants. The plant in question was a plant that Margaret's husband John had brought to her. John had seen the plant in Puerto Rico when he was there during WWII. He thought that Margaret would love the plant. Since it was illegal to remove plants from the island John was able to procure a bulb or this plant that he smuggled out in his undershorts. Not knowing what the plant actually is my sister and I dubbed it the John Powell PuertoRican Penis Plant :-)"

Let's not make a fuss about the legal issue of "sneaking" a plant into the United States...after all, it was WWII. Surely, there has been much worse smuggled into this country.
Does JPPRPP have a new home?

Thank you to all who stop by...your comments are appreciated. Once again, there seems to be "blogger" issues, such as disappearing followers and posts. This too shall pass. Right?
