I have never liked these planters. Are these flowers? Are these grass? Nope, these are just useless plastic straws my former roommate had decided to buy to make the apartment look “greener”.
My former roommate is one of those people whose dream is to be gardener but kills every plant she touches. I, on the other hand, have the opposite effect on plants. Every plant I grow flourishes.
So why do I need these fake plants in my apartment? I can’t take cool macro photos or watch them grow since they are plastic.
Hmm…
Right, I don’t need them.

Each week, Rochelle Wisoff-Fields-Addicted to Purple hosts Friday Fictioneers where we’re challenged to write a piece of flash fiction in 100 words, more or less, based on the picture above.
One thing is for certain, these plastic straws look like real grass:D Maybe look at it this way, if you add your touch of plantery to your place, these will be the complimentary greenery.

This is completely fiction and I am certain these are real grass. I think these can be quite complimentary.

I’ll admit if these are fake, I’ll take them as they’ll just need dusting – attention with the guilt.

I have a couple fake plants at my desk and I love them very much and I agree, so much easier to take care of than the real stuff. 😀

Much more fun to plant something real – especially as your narrator is good at it.

That’s a pleasant little story. I guess those planters and straws are on their way to the recycling centre!

May be too much love of plants that the friend show, is not good for them. Every thing needs to grow at its own pace.
