A visitor said something like: "Are those branches?"
And I said something in response like: "Yeah"
He said: "Why don't they have leaves like the other ones?" (All of the other branches (except the two in question) have so many leaves).
I said: "Don't know." They haven't had leaves on those branches since I moved here (late August). Since he asked (less than a week ago) one defiant little leaf has reared its cute little budding head and is getting bigger every day.
And I, like a real jerk, _still_ want more and ask the plant: Where are the flowers, buddy?
