Last Valentine's Day, one of my gifts was a floral bouquet. The flowers, maybe they were tulips, and maybe it was Easter and not Valentine's Day, eventually withered and were thrown out. But the supporting greenery was still so fresh and vital looking that I kept them in the vase of water. If they root, I'll plant them outside when spring comes, I thought.
Well, they didn't root, but they still appear as fresh as the day I got them, almost a year ago. I inspected them the other day, and what do I find, on the bottom side of several of the leaves, but what appear to be tiny seedling plants. I wonder if I can plant one of them.
I'm trying to recall if that's how mistletoe grows. I'll look it up if I find the motivation.
