I'm doing an experiment.
I'm trying to grow a small tree on my desk.

What I have here is a Tsuga canadensis, a tiny hemlock seedling that I dug up at my parents' place. It looks like a Charlie Brown Christmas tree, but so far it's surviving under the fluorescent lights. My hope is that I can make it into a little bonsai tree eventually.

I'll keep you posted on how it fares. God knows if it will survive in here...

Oddly enough
that joke was made here already.

Different plant. That's a poisonous herb over there that we don't have here. This one's a tree.

Too bad, really. I'd put some in some spaghetti sauce and serve it to my ex.

EDIT: Apparently we do have it here. I stand corrected.

Plants grow well in our office
we don't water them, we give them cold tea. It must taste better to them than it does to us. Our cheese plant has really thrived on it!

Will plants thrive in a testosterone fuelled envoirnment ?
I thought you were taught to fell trees, not grow them : )

I was trained to fell trees
but I was also trained to encourage them to grow- otherwise there would be no trees to fell later!

Actually, I'm more interested in growing them than dropping them anyway. This one serves to remind me of what it's really all about- it's a little bit of my native woods.
