Meet Pointy

Every December, my office orders poinsettias. Right before the new year, employees are asked to take the poinsettias home. I never took one home, but I did adopt one at work two Christmases ago.

Now that I'm leaving, I decided to take Pointy with me to Durham. I know he is no longer a flowering poinsettia, but he's still healthy and doing well. My orchids now have a friend, and maybe the two of them can start filling the hole that Rat left when he passed away.
