gettin dirty



just got a cool new plant as a present. i always thought this was a peperomia or "watermelon" plant. it's not. it's a prayer plant (maranta leuconeura) and is called so because at night the leaves lay vertical and during the day they lay horizontal-get it?! they kind of fold up in prayer. well the technical term for this is photonasty. hilarious.
oh and i finally found out the name of another favorite of mine-silver skies. aint that purty
