Supertunia - - Then and Now.

I bought this, what i call, Supertunia (as in Super-Petunia) at a local nursery/ice cream joint. I couldn't NOT buy it, as it were. The thing was GORGEOUS - so full, so vibrant; all this coming from someone who does NOT have a green thumb, though i have the knowledge of a Green Thumber, considering my mom is quite the flower connoisseur. Anyhoo, i digress.



I bought it right before The Heat Wave of the season a few weeks ago. It hit temps in the 90s and near 100s for about 4 days straight before breaking. It really did a number to the 'tunia. That, paired with what my mom claims to be an unhealthy life in the plastic pot it was sold in. She said she watched Martha Stewart talk about this very topic (a once healthy plant dying quickly because of the plastic pot).


While ST is still alive, she is not the crazy woman of her day. She is no longer dancing the disco til all hours of the night, and still looking like a million in the morning. She is a woman that needs some perking up. Some luvvin and huggin. I'm trying to give it to her. But i still have to buy her some 'breathable undies,' so to speak...
