He’s BAACK – The Return of the Giant Plant
This Memorial Day Weekend, I’m spending time with my mom ” Miss Georgia” and the family. Couldn’t help but notice the giant monster plant has made a comeback. The plant in mom’ s living room fell off the table mysteriously in the middle of the night two years ago and was thought was gone forever (Planticide – July 18, 2010).

Now the plant is enormous, somewhat less menacing than before, (no scales so far) and quite glorious .
