It's true.
A number of pots I'd stuck there "in transit", and got no further with, chose to surprise me.

Anything I put in a pot surprises me by dying. Although, truly, it's not really that much of a surprise at this point!

Orchids live where lesser plants die.

This one's not an orchid, but a creeper I'm leading into a frame over my back gate.

Because I'm such a botanist, we call it "oooh, pretty pink flower" at my house.  I admire yours and Lil's command of the planty lore. |

Sounds similar to mechanic lingo. Parts suddenly become lists of interesting swear words when stubborn, or such wonderful phrases such as "thingamadoomer", "doomaflachy", etc.

It looks akin to what I know as morning glory.

I sure wish dandolions would come into vogue. They do so well and I don't even plant them. |

I found a patch of these on the block this morning. It's a ground orchid which had climbed a grass stem for support. I didn't get a chance to photograph it for about an hour after picking (against M's kindle reader for contrast), and dug out a Yank cent coin for comparison.
