If I have flowers in my garden, I always cut some and take them to Bible study because I’m never allowed to contribute to the food preparation. On a Thursday in November, I was on my way to Bible study and cut some roses from my garden. But I had also cut some other flowers and ended up taking them, so the roses stayed in my kitchen.
Eventually the flowers dried out, but they looked kind of nice, so I let them be. Now a couple months later, I’ve thought maybe I should throw them away. But then I noticed that some of the leaves were still alive. Then I noticed the stems had something clustered on the cut ends. Are they roots? Are these roses propagating themselves? I’ve never seen anything like this. I’d love to stick them into some dirt so they can grow properly, but I’m afraid of changing things for fear that the roots will die.
You’re so lucky. When most people find something mysterious growing in their kitchen, it’s usually deadly.
They are probably borg roses. Prepare to be assimilated.
Resistance is Futile
I know a rose grower in Colombia. He’s a friend of Leo’s. I’ll have Leo send him your post and maybe he can give you some advice.
We tried to propogate the roses from our wedding. Fail.
Is that what you kids call a “honeymoon”?
are you sure it is not an insect?
1. Why aren’t you allowed to cook for your small group? There are some great recipes at bethtastic.com!
2. Why didn’t you take the roses too?
3. The “roots” kind of look like mold to me, although the water is clear.
4. Maybe they are growing legs in order to assassinate you.
5. I wouldn’t worry about the Borg because, the Borg generally did not assimilate individuals, and instead preferred to target larger groups such as the crews of starships and the populations of planets. When in the presence of a small number of individuals, Borg drones would ignore them altogether. This policy would remain in effect until an individual demonstrated some quality found worthy by the Collective, or posed a threat to Borg activities.
Awesome!
Now we understand why kiwe fits in so well here.
Kiwe, did you know that in college, Brad and Lloyd and the boys wouldn’t let me watch the new episode of Star Trek with them? I was not welcome. (Granted, it was after dorm hours, but still….)
1. The women in the group don’t let me cook for two reasons. Firstly, I am a man, and they think men are not able to cook. Secondly, I am the “leader”, and they feel like I shouldn’t contribute any more effort to the group.
2. The flowers I did take were much larger. The roses would have looked meager in comparison.
3. I don’t think the roots are mold, because there is no trace of it elsewhere. I thought it might be some kind of excretion, but the fact that the leaves are still alive makes me think they might be roots.
4. Max has nearly completed his training and should be able to prevent any assassination attempts.
5. I have had some pretty strange illnesses. Maybe they would be interested to add my biological distinctiveness to their own.
So if this truly is happening, what will they propagate? Dead Roses???
Even your old, sort-of dead roses look better than anything I try to grow.
Me too. I have a house full of
deaddried flowers & plants.Hey Lauren, Dried is the new dead!
