Thriving on neglect

[shewhomust]

Almost a year ago, we marked durham_rambler's significant birthday with a tentative sort-of-party. We declared very firmly that presents not not required (indeed, were not welcomed) and on the whole this was respected. But there's always someone, isn't there? As I grumbled at the time:

M. stood on the doorstep, refusing to come in (because people at her evening class have been catching Covid) and proffering a triffid; it comes with hand-written instructions which claim that it thrives on neglect, and if this is true, it has come to the right place.

I placed it on the windowsill in the spare bedroom, and occasionally when I am in there hanging out laundry (because that is where the drying rack lives) I remember to water it. Rather to my surprise, I have not yet killed it.

Indeed, it does seem to be thriving on neglect:

Well, that is very impressive.

Isn't it, though? No credit to me, obviously - it just growed!

Thank you!
