Our 5 Month Anniversary

Mom -
Here is a picture for you. These are the flowers you sent us for our month-versary:). They are beautiful! John and I are doing our best to water them and keep them alive.

Our first venture into mum-plantology ended with bug infested plants. John and I threw them in the dumpster as we could not do anything with them inside our apartement:( It was a sad, sad day. Then, within the week, mom sent her gift to us! They are beautiful. I think the trick is to water them a little each day instead of a whole lot once a week or two....

Aren't they cute!?! Our wedding ivy, JohnRox, and our 5 Month Mums!!!
( The ivy is the little plant in the stand in the lower left corner of the picture.)

We have one other plant pot in our kitchen. We'll have to post a pic of that on another day. The plants in the kitchen were a house-warming gift from my mom.

We also lost the ivy we bought at Target earlier this year. It had some sort of growths on it that looked like spider webs (and we forgot to water it for like 2 weeks - that didn't help any...)

So far we have had good luck with the plants people have given us, but not with those we've bought ourselves.
