Now, four of those little poinsettias are as happy as can be. So I wouldn't really blame Dill's Greenhouse for this one little bad apple. But I don't know if their poinsettia return policy covers suicidal plants. Can you imagine what the cashier at the register would say if I tried to return a poinsettia based on claims that it was mentally unsound?
But it is! One morning, we were all upstairs getting dressed when I heard a loud crash downstairs. I grabbed my phone (so I could call 9-1-1 in case there was an intruder) and went to investigate. It turned out that the poinsettia in question had jumped off of the plant shelf and landed on the first floor below. I knew then that we had a jumper.
So I cleaned up the mess and doctored up the plant and said some nice things to it and put it back on the plant shelf. I did push it a little bit further back on the shelf. I thought that things were going nicely.
Then, about a week later, I came home to find that the same poinsettia plant had hung itself while we were out.
This poinsettia plant is creepy. Or maybe it's just fed up with the commercialization of Christmas?
