I’m hosting a Bible study at my house, and last night was the first meeting. I loved it! When it came time to stop, I almost didn’t say anything because everyone was chatting so happily. But we have plenty of time ahead. We’ll be meeting every other week.
It was fun to have people see my house. It was even more fun to have someone see the artificial plant in my bathroom and think it was real. I just got it last weekend. And it really is amazing-looking. What I think is the secret to its success? It looks like a plant that actually exists. It’s not some monster with daisy flowers and rose leaves. It looks like a streptocarpus. I think that because it looks like something that actually exists in nature, the eye looks past any hints that it’s artificial and causes the brain to suspend disbelief.
I love it. I got it from IKEA. They have two more artificial plants from the actual plant world. I can hardly contain my desire to get them too.
Look at a real streptocarpus HERE. Amazing, isn’t it?
Great. Now Mick Jagger is singing ‘Jumpin’ Jack Flash it’s a gas, gas, gas’ over and over in my head. Thanks a lot, beautiful plant.
How great that your first home Bible study is such fun! Where did you meet – your dining room or your living room? (Surely not in the basement.)
We met in the dining room. I now have two folding banquet tables. I put them together and put a table runner down the middle. In between times I can take it down again and have my ballroom back.
Can you get Strep-throat from eating it?
Heh!
That is a beautiful plant! And if you need any help with how to maintain a fake plant, I’m your girl.
But I’m a little distressed that you got a fake. It’s like hearing that Emeril is serving Swanson’s, like Van Gough did paint by number,
like Dolly Parton is….. well, you get the gist. BAM…and today’s “HA!” award goes to…PEGGY! Good one…
Even the leaves look real. A lot of times, that’s what clues me in to the fakeness.
