if you believe in that last part.
i picked out a spathiphyllum. i thought it looked green & also like many house plants i have seen in 90s family sitcoms.
i didn't know it was a peace lily. but that is OK.
the salesman told me it was called a "closet plant," but i can't find any reference to the plant being called that on the internet.
he also gave me a rose, which was an act of kindness i really needed. it gave me joy, and i don't think i've ever received joy from an interaction with a stranger before.
later i felt cycnical like the rose was given so i would be happy and would ignore that i was being overcharged. but even if that was the case, the moment of joy was worth it, i think.
for now it is in my office, where there are no windows.
i will have to take it out and expose it to sunlight — like walking a dog.
i read an article about a year ago on how humans are becoming more and more emotionally dependent on their pets. i can't do that.

i was considering a plant recently as well, when my dog ran away. i found him a few days ago, though, and abandoned getting a plant.
but if i did, i think i would've liked a hydrocline (i like the pink and green leaves), or something that's simple and blooms, like an African violet or geranium or petunia...
i cant handle emotions and live pets, either. with plants, they'll listen to you, won't run away, and just require water and sunlight...for the most part.
glad you got a plant :)
