I'm very sorry that you're losing your friend, but the plants will be a lovely reminder of your friendship. Please take some pictures of the blooms next summer, if you can, and post them here. We would love to see them.

I, too, am sorry for your impending loss, and hope to see photos next summer.

I still support some spider plants that I adopted 28 years ago when their caretaker, a woman whose office was down the hall from mine at university, suddenly was diagnosed with and died of acute leukaemia. Although I didn't know her well, I think of her often as I care for the plants.

Softfurn, indeed plants are wonderful reminders of our dear loved ones. I have several plants from my sister's garden in which I shall always cherish. Most particular is a lovely sport of a rose that Janet had discovered in her garden ... I've thus named it in her honor. My sister was only 39 when she passed due to cancer. Thank you for sharing your story ... I entend my sympthies to you.
