I gazed at the plant several times. A small myrtle topiary. Perfectly shaped with its foliage in a ball atop its stem.
I was warned. A hard plant to keep alive. On the other hand, water as needed and keep it by a window and it should be fine. A challenge.
Finally, after several visits, I took “Myrtle” home.
Sunshine and water. She seemed fine.
Then I noticed a little change. Leaves fell. Small leaves curled. Water, mist. Revival seemed increasingly unlikely.
Time to let go?
