Amos the Avocado. I raised him from a little pit.

I had the pit in water for months and nothing seemed to happen. Then one day, the pit cracked, and I saw a little baby something inside it... Nothing much happened for about a week, until it started putting out a loooong root down to the bottom of the water container. Still nothing sprouted on top. So at that point I put it in soil and SHAZAM. That was about two weeks ago, and he's doing great.

amos, you`re cute

i love amos

LV + Amos

true love

Thank you all. He will thrived knowing he has adoring fans.

Very pretty... er, handsome.

the leaves are so radiant and filled with hope and light
u must really be giving it a lot of love and attention

plants thrive on that

He's also getting REALLY good compost from my very happy and much-loved worms.

(I haven't named them, cuz there are probably 10,000 or so)

Amos has inspired me-- I've got to stop throwing out my avocado pits immediately!

yeah, me too

though i'm wondering , does Amos have a cousin whose name is Ms. Basil? LOL
I see a family resemblance

Perhaps!

hey itzdavey

how is Amos?

how long do u think it will take for him to bear more fruity deelish emerald avocadoes?

I don't think he'll ever have children, since I live in a) an apartment b) in Delaware. Basically he'll be a nice houseplant.

hmmmm or maybe you have to punch a hole in the ceiling to let it do its thing

heh heh...

reachin for the sky

always

I have four "Amoses". Two live on my kitchen windowsill, and two in my living room. My parents actually got one to bear fruit, but we were in California. I am in Mass. so I dunno...

I have a girlfriend, Amy, for him. How can we get them together?

Well we could put them in front of webcams and log them onto skype or something, and then maybe the light-image emanating from the screen will have a sort of photo-synthetic effect back and forth which could serve as a possible form of plant communication?

Or I could just have a very overactive imagination.

WOWZERS... plant romance how cool is THAT?

luv your overactive imagination LOL

I've been reading a lot of short SF stories lately, so maybe that'd done something to my brain. Actually kind of a good premise!

I talked to amy, she's in.

hey itzdavey

<<I've been reading a lot of short SF stories lately, so maybe that'd done something to my brain. Actually kind of a good premise!>>

Okay, Itzdavey, let's you and I start this story, shall we?

and anyone else that wishes to pipe in:

Premise: Amos the plant falls in love with another plant named Amy after the EMF frequencies emanating from Itzdavey's computer instigates Amos to notice the other flora on the screen.

So here it goes:

The evening is saturated with periwinkle thought Itzdavey as he looked at the sky rim. He decided to not go to the star party where people with insane amounts of
fascination would point their scopes at the heavens and sigh for long periods of time. Maybe he was jealous of their precise devotion .... the kinda devotion that made him start triangulating his way back home... He had more important matters to think about than constellation events. He was now a papa... of a plant called Amos.

I've been trying to think of something for days la veronique. I just can't match you're style, you're too much! I'm jealous!

write something anyways

you know you wanna

you SF afficionado you!
