Yesterday I rescued a plant from the dumpster (my fourth such rescue. Apparently I have a sixth sense for knowing when my neighbors are trashing perfectly good houseplants.) I saw the guy toss it, so I had to decide on the appropriate wait time before I assumed a non-suspicious air and casually removed the large plant from the jaws of the blue dumpster. The plant is a croton. Big colorful leaves. A bitch to grow -- needs lots of light. This morning, with water and light and all my hopes and wishes for discarded plants everywhere, it has perked up and looks lovely.
