My "green" thumb

At the beginning of this year, we moved from Ohio to Utah.  And, like always, I transported my plants in my van with me.  And when we took the plants in from the van on a very cold Wyoming night, the subzero wind killed the leaves, though the plant lived on.

And so, as we moved from Utah to Virginia, I was positive that my recovered pathos plants would like this move a lot more than the last.  And so we drove from Utah to Virginia with a couple planned stops, such as a few days in Ohio visiting friends.  And because the weather was so pleasant, I didn't bring the plants indoors, and the heat inside the van went up and up.  And cooked the top of the pathos plants.

And there goes any thought about having a green thumb.  I love growing things but I guess I'll just have to be more careful at transporting already grown plants.  By the way, the plants are quickly recovering (for a second time) and are looking much better with the black leaves gone and tiny little green leaves growing.
