Nine lives

When we went to California for a weeklong trip recently, I didn't ask anyone to water my plants. I doubted my cousin or Ben's brother, who both live in Northeast, would be interested in making the 20-minute drive for plants. And I didn't think about asking a neighbor until about 10 p.m. the night before we left.

So when we returned home I wasn't surprised to see that all five plants had kicked the bucket. I didn't feel all that bad -- the fact that the plants had lived almost three months was a huge feat.

For fun, though, I watered them a day after we got home. And by the next day, they had all perked up and bloomed.

These plants have multiple lives.
