The gift of maintenance, nurturing, cohabitating. A few dollars, a cutting, maybe rehabilitated from a former caretaker. A proverbial olive-branch whether or not harm has been done. Representation of what happens when you regularly hydrate, eat well, and have time in the sunshine. Cut off from nature, confined to one place. If you can keep this thing alive you can do anything.
