Return of the MEME!

(I had this whole entry typed out and posted yesterday, but there was a minor thing I wanted to fix which resulted in me accidentally deleting the whole damn thing because I am SPECIAL. I know, I know: don't be jealous! I was in a sulk post-deletion, so I waited 'til today to throw the thing back together. Which means I will be spamming your flist yet again, because I have another post to make today, too! Lo ciento.)

In other plant news: Thursday's hail storms in Chicago have severely damaged the Garfield Park Conservatory. My friend actually works there as their director of family programs. It's a beautiful conservatory, with a massive collection of plants. The whole conservatory is devastated, with nearly all of the glass roofs laying in ruins and 80% of the plants damaged. It's closed until further notice.

If you can, please consider donating to help repair the damage! You can do so on their webpage.
