I bought an anthurium houseplant at CVS when this pandemic stay=at-home began. I hope it didn't catch any COVID-19 germs. A local florist sells the plant too. It is a nice thing to have around. Maybe I like the symbolism of hearts too much. I can't say for sure.

Well, I grew up with this plant. My parents had a few of these plants bunched together in the garden. It just sat there. Nothing ostentatious, it actually went unnoticed around the roses.

The general common names for this houseplant: anthurium, tailflower, flamingo flower and laceleaf. I like the name laceleaf because it alliterates nicely with love.

I found this YouTube Video last night. I thought it was cute and inspirational for writing this poem, which isn't much but still plenty more that you'd probably believe.
