Harini the Crassula Ovata

The Crassula Ovata; a house plant commonly known as a jade plant.
Harini: a friend commonly known as Harini.
Harini the Crassula Ovata: A jade plant we are taking care of because our school decided it was not a huge priority and let it pretty much die.
Yes, i know it sounds a little morbid that we named a dying jade plant after our friend, but we only hope it will follow in the footsteps of our namesake and become a strong independent woman who likes physics and for some reason tolerates us. The plant is in pretty bad shape though, the leaves that should be glossy are shriveled and if you shake it little branches just break off. We water it almost everyday and whenever it gets big and strong we're going to plant it!!! I'm really excited  also soon we will hopefully start planting things in the greenhouse and i am going to plant my favourite flowers: forget me nots :) They're so pretty and underrated and wayyyyyyy better than roses, just saying. Anyway, here are some pictures of both the Harini's and us water Harini (the plant).


Also, the fig tree in the lobby is growing new leaves! I'm so proud of her. I'm feeling very maternal towards Kim, she's basically my daughter,except instead of the kids growing up and graduating and leaving it'll be me who's doing the leaving in two years!
