What Happens in Florida

Joining FFF (Final Friday Fiction) with Yamini and  with Nature Friday, with Rosy at LLB in Backyard.  All rolled into one post.

This is What happens in Florida if you take a potted plant that died and dump it in the corner of the fence, right behind a bush that hides the evidence of said dumping.

Many years ago, about 20, I think, my fellow team members at work sent me a live mixed plant garden. It had a few green leaves of pothos plant 1 small tiny tree thingy, ivy  and cut daisies.

 I, of the black thumb,  neglected to water it and soon it traveled over the leafy trail into plant never-never land, and turned quite brown. NOTE: I thought it was DEAD and it would be ashes to ashes, dust to dust.

I forgot I live in the tropics.

.

soon, the tiny vine covered the bush, the leaves grew to HUGE leaves, the vines climbed the fence, they traveled to the top of the oak tree.

They wandered up the fence, not just one fence but 3 fences..

The man of the house, with many angry kind words, chided the woman, who dumped the plant, that climbed the bush, that climbed 3 fences and he cut back the vines.

And cut back The Vines.

And Cut Back The Vines,  and on and on over the years. He has chopped for 20 years.

What happens in Florida, stays here and stays here and stays here.

The good news 😜 is, as you can see in the first few photos, the wandering vines are quite lovely as they travel around the yard in the sun headed for fence number 4.

Alas! The Man Is Not Impressed with the lovely vine traveling. But that is another story.
