Testing my green thumb

Truth be told, I've only kept one plant alive in my life. And sadly, that plant died on my cross country trip from Wisconsin to California. I had the thing for 2 years! It was very sad to see it wilt away in the back seat of my car.
But soon enough I planted another something (I can't even remember what is was). But as you can see (at right), it quickly died. The funny thing is, I found it just like this one week ago in our patio cabinet. Instead of throwing the dead plant away, someone put it in the cabinet. Why? I'm not sure. The purpose of even going in the cabinet was to get the essentials needed to plant some other flowers I got for Dana's bridal shower. I've been meaning to plant them for a while. Well I finally did! Yeah! (Pictured at left)
I've already forgotten to water it. Thankfully Shawn did. :-) So soon, I hope to report back with a beautiful photo of the flowers that bloom.
But that reminds me... I gotta water the darn thing!
