I *want* one of these
« on: May 17, 2008, 02:51:30 PM »


I'm negotiating with a plant seller now. Theirs are only $9.99, so will be small. Another nursery wanted ... wait for it ... $149.95!!! Freaking nuts!

BTW, if you know what this plant is, I'll give you a cyber cookie. tongue.gif

The cyber cookies go to ... Kris for identifying my Ponytail palm.




BTW, it might be named Ponytail palm, but it's not a true palm. biggrin.gif

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beaucarnea_recurvata

It's a slow growing plant (especially indoors), and it might look like a dwarf or bonsai, but it's not -- it can reach 20 ft. in height.

Oh, and here's the recipe for the cookies, so you can enjoy them in real life. yum.gif

Oats are great in chocolate chip cookies -- and it makes them health food. biggrin.gif

Our Joey Cat would have for sure -- but then he was a stoopid cat. biggrin.gif  He would eat *anything*, get sick, and go eat more of whatever it was that made him sick. Boy had a fried brain (literally) and kept us on our toes over the years while he was with us. Now Abby Darlin' might have tried to eat the plant, but we lost her a few weeks ago. sad.gif  So no kitties around here now. *sob*


Try the cookies. They're good for you. smile.gif
