Store Plants - Why Not?

Since Fr. Z has set precedent in blogging about his plants, I suppose we can feel at liberty to try the same. Here we have, perched atop the odd volumes of the CUA Canon Law Studies series, the only two plants in the store (to my knowledge).

On the left is the Crown of Thorns plant (which must be watered with caution). On the right is Phyllis the Amaryllis. The sun was rather bright through the window, but this silhouetted sort of shot looked better than the ones with flash. Phyllis is about to burst into flower. The Crown of Thorns will show little red flowers after some time.
