Suddenly Seymour

My mother’s Boston fern is gargantuan. It is beyond anything you could ever purchase at a fern supply institution. (Nursery) The fact that it was her mother’s, now passed down to her, and next to me, is a lovely thing. (Okay…maybe to another sib?) I am honored to prune it when I am visiting. At the same time, I think, “This is truly larger than life. It could eat me?”

Thus, I dedicate this missive to my son, who assisted in the production of “Little Shop of Horrors,” a musical which has never been my favorite, yet I am scrambling to find a theme. A giant blood-thirsty plant? Well, I think I get it. The writers/authors/lyricists had their own mother’s plants to tend.

This fern is absolutely deserving of the entire room it occupies..
