All fun and games until someone loses a flower
When I got home the amaryllis had leaped energetically off the table and broken one of its flowers when it hit the floor. (Either that or we’ve got some very malicious mice.)
I picked up the plant and put it back — giving it something to lean against — and then brushed up the spilled soil. I went straight to the bin and threw it out. Why didn’t I put it back in the pot? I guess I would have to explain that one as a capture error. There aren’t many circumstances in which I’d reuse mess that I shovel up from the floor, so I suppose I just didn’t think.
