My's Precioussssssss

I've been wanting some house plants for a while now.  Every time we pass the plant section at any store (including the grocery store) I have to stop and stare at every little leaf.  I tend to kill plants (and Marco tends to eat them) so I've been hesitant to purchase any....until now. 

Tony was rearranging the living room when I came home from work yesterday and the corner by the front window remained conspicuously empty.  Something was definitely missing.  I suggested we purchase a small palm and place it on a plant stand.  Tony agreed, so off I went to Home Depot to get one.  I'd seen some there a week or so before for $12, so it wouldn't be a big deal right? 

They didn't have my damn palms.  All they had were GINORMOUS ones taller than me for $40.00.  I talked myself into this and I present to you: 

Herbie
Tony was still arranging the living room, so kindly excuse the mess on the couches.  It's fixed now. 

Herbie looked so wonderful in his little corner, that we decided that we needed to get a few more plants to liven the place up.  I trotted off to Home Depot again and came home with the following characters.

My mom was of the opinion that Herbie is too big for the room.  I took this picture this morning and I think he looks perfect.
