I do, although the only one that's stuck is Mawrice's (pic from early this year). It's hard not to anthropomorphize the little guy :
One day I'll add a sundew of some kind to the garden and name it Bruno 'cause of reasons.
Now that he's grown a bit more, I regret putting him in such a narrow stone pot. How am I going to repot him without closing all these traps? Damn you, Past Slurms!!
He really is! Perfect name too!
The two names I have for mine are also based on being very active (For a plant, I guess?)
I have Pandora the pothos, the one who started this whole mess.
She is a random golden pothos from a random supermarket, but she has been a lot of fun to watch. First of all, she is super easy to care for and has survived (Great start since I suck at plants). She started her life in a small pot with a small climbing pole but has been so active I had to loop and re-loop her vines everywhere to keep her in check. Now she has claimed the biggest climbing pole I could find at the plant store and is busy making that her home. She is fun because she is so active.
Once we move to the new house, I speculate about making a special place for her. We have a large sunny living room with a built-in book wall on one side, and I was thinking of nailing some sort of climbing “strips” for her along the sides of it, so she can claim the entire wall for herself. I think it would look awesome.
The other one is Steven the stephania erecta, who is a grabby little perv.
Again, he is super easy to keep and very active. He lives on a shelf above my computer table and keeps himself busy trying to feel up everything he can get his grabby little tentacles near. He worms himself into the drawers with papers and envelopes if I don’t keep an eye on him. He managed to get a tentacle amputated by the robot vacuum because we didn’t restrain him. Recently he stole a pencil from me! He dug his little tentacles into my jar with pens, grabbed one and coiled it back up towards himself out of the jar. Logically I know he is just trying to grab things to pull his leaves up for light, but it really looks like he is a grabby little pervert feeling everything up in his path. The Latin name doesn’t help.
. I wish I got a good picture earlier, but it has been a few weeks and the bloom isn't as full as it was and a couple of the clusters have fallen off by now.
I've been feeding them fruit and vegetable kitchen scraps and they've already doubled in number. If I can get a proper setup for them to really grow, I might be able to sell to the local fishermen, since the red wiggler supplier who used to sell to the bait shop in town retired.
