July 6: Kalanchoe Plant

Given to Terri from Ashley.

Ashley admitted she doesn't possess a "green thumb" and has killed many a plant, including cacti that her mother has purchased for her.  However, herbs have avoided the compost bin under Ashley's watch, except when she was getting ready for the gift exchange.  A rosemary plant purchased on Monday looked "pretty brown", so she turned to the kalanchoe plant instead, which is popular in Korea.  They're so popular, her mother has one of every color in the house.

In past Christmases, I have bought and decorated a rosemary plant because it looks like an evergreen.  The aroma from rosemary is pleasant and can be enjoyed long after the final carol is sung.  In fact, I recommend mincing some and tossing with paprika on oven-fried potatoes.  Deee-lish.
