Hello, Fern, your call is important to us…

plants300.jpgHey, Blog Guy, I just got an iPhone, but now it’s painfully apparent to everybody around me that I don’t get many calls. How can I seem to be more popular?

Some folks in New York have come up with gadgetry people can use in their vegetation, so that the plants actually call them to ask for water, sunshine and whatever else they need. The cleverly named Botanicalls are adjustable to the needs of specific plants, and they even use fun accents.

I don’t mean to sound rude, but what’s that got to do with my problem?

Do I need to spell out everything? You buy yourself a ficus, a gardenia, maybe a nice Stargazer lily, and you equip all of them with this Botanicalls equipment. Then, you stick them all in a dark, dry closet and ignore them, and soon your phone will be ringing constantly! Just make sure the speaker isn’t on when your ivy starts gasping, ”You’re killing me!” Diane King reports:
