“DESPAIR”

I was away for longer than intended, so I was wondering how the plants at the coffee houses would survive. The one in front is one of the ones I left, and I DESPAIR of them ever surviving when I’m away! Is it too much water, too little water, too little sunshine, or what, I don’t know!
Anyway, the plant in the background is the new table decoration and is supposed to be a “very easy to care for” Shamrock, so I’m hoping they will last at least till St Patrick’s Day!
