THE MYSTERY HOUSE PLANT
This house plant was given to us from an old neighbor when we lived in Cottage Grove. It must be over 20 years old. Every year I have to cut the taller stem as it will almost reach the ceiling and let the new stem take over. Celia faithfully watered it. Now I water it when I think about it and sometimes that is once a week or longer. I don't know the name of this plant and just call it the "Jack in the Bean Stock" plant. Anybody know what it is?
