There’s only one plant in my back yard that is from the previous owner. It’s a Christmas fern. It’s tough, and green, and covers the water pipes my hose is connected to.
And the termite tenting killed it.
Yesterday, I was cutting away some of the dead leaves.

And then I saw it – a new leaf! It’s all green and alive-looking!

I’m so happy! The fern is alive!
Why did Frankenstein come to mind as I read your closing line?
Congratulations – nice pre-Advent Easter symbol there, too.
That is one tough plant!! I am so glad that it is surviving. Life….finds a way.
I love when that happens!
