Thing 2 after a long delay

Did you think it was dead?

Not a good photographer...

shrinking from the vine
the succulent cannot escape
                                                  its terrible speed
the ferocious unfurling
blots out the sun
why can't we all
just get along?

Reach for the sky, little brothers!

Thing 2

I turned the plant around because the sun hits it at an angle, and I don't want the little plants to get too bent over.

The pot full of succulents known as Thing 2 continues to grow.

I haven't killed them yet. In fact, they are still visibly growing, as you can see if you look back at my previous two photos of them. Years ago, she gave me a different kind of succulent in a large pot. I put it on top of my file cabinet. When it finally died it was nearly 8 feet tall and we could no longer bring it in or out of the house through the door. I think its deathknell occurred the year I was too sick to keep a close eye on it.

It grows
