I know nothing about plants, other than that I’ve learnt that they die if I try to take care of them. So I leave them alone and they look after themselves. I’ve been ignoring this plant for a year. I don’t know what it is or what it does. The other day, I noticed a weird little mismatched shoot. It keeps growing, more and more overnight, like Jack’s Beanstalk, up and up and up. I think unfurling may happen. I am not even embarrassed about how exciting I find this.

This is my hobby now. Staring at this, waiting for something to emerge. It should be a sport. Furling. The Furling Championships. The Olympic Medal In Watching Things Unfurl. Better than worrying about politics, I tell you.

This plant just keeps on growing and growing. A new little bit unfurls every day, like a teaser. Watching this plant's progress is such a peaceful pleasure. I've been staring so hard at the tip that I only just noticed that three - three! - more of these twirly unfurly shoots have emerged from the soil. I think I may be a botanist now. Or a florist. Or a horticulturist. One of those.

@CiaraNi Hvor er den fin. Ved du hvad den hedder? Jeg vil prøve at finde en til mig selv.

@asbjornn Jeg vidste ikke selv, hvad den hed, indtil den begyndte at opføre sig interessant og jeg begyndte at kede folk med Breaking News om den. Den er en Zanzibar Gem, Zamioculcas, Zanzibar ZZ, afh. af hvem, man spørger. Den trives, når man ignorerer den, har jeg opdaget.

@CiaraNi Det bliver bedre og bedre! Det er lige min type plante.
Tak.

@asbjornn Haha - også min type plante. Det er derfor, det har gjort mig så glad. Jeg er helt overrasket over, at en plante hos mig overlever, endsige vokser og vokser og tilføjer exciting new bits.
