Ode to my Cactus

My cactus died. I'm really sad. I've had it since the Marvin Lewis Golf Classic in 2005. The theme was fiesta and I brought a bunch home for my mom and sister too. It's probably the longest I've kept a plant. I had it in my office for most of the time, but it did move from Cincinnati to Oxford to Austin. Right before I moved, it got knocked over and broke off in the soil, but i just dug that part out and replanted it. It fell over in the truck on the way here and I just replanted it when I got here. Slowly, it's been rotting from the bottom up, so today...I threw it away. I liked my cactus! It was a different plant to have...eventually, I will have to replace it with a new one. :-(

well at least your cactus got to see texas! do you want a piece of Christina Aguilera to start a new plant with?

Yeah, but I would be afraid that I would just kill it. It's hard to start new plants.

I've already killed one of those a few years ago. :-(

OK! I'll give it a try. Do I have to name it Christina?
