A couple of years ago I found a teapot at a yard sale. It had no lid. The poor thing. So....I felt sorry for it and brought it home. I also found a fern that seemed sweet. I was told to keep it wet and it would be happy. The fern went into the teapot. It has been there for two years. I cut it all the way back a couple of times a year and when it is ready it grows again. This year it came out the spout. Cracked me up! But I love it....
