752.0. "Name that Plant " by VINO::LANGELO (Hooray for the Gay,Lesbian & Bisexual 90's!!!) Fri Mar 29 1991 19:34

    So far I have 3 plants in my office...
    
    Alfie, a Christmas Cactus (it's not budding right now)
    
    E Grace, a baby blue Iris (it's sooooo cute)
    
    and a Dieffenbachia which needs a name. HELP!
    
    What does it look like, Laurie?
    
    Large greenish/yellowish leaves on thick stems. It stands about a foot
    and a half right now. A few of the leaves are nibbled away because this
    poor plant spend a night at my house and my cats thought I got it for
    their midnight nibble-snack :-) It's in a light-blue pot and it's
    leaves kind of flop down like a rabbit's ears.
    
    So, I don't know what to call it. Anyone have any ideas?

    Laurie,
    
    I have a stuffed bunny rabbit (an ancient and venerable one) whose name
    is Nubby.  (That's "bunny" spelled inside out.)  He is also known among
    my household as Sir Nubrigar, or The NubMeister.  He tells me he would
    be most highly honoured if you were to name your Dieffenbachia after
    him >:-)

    ...it listens well (it's all ears!) and it quiets the obnoxiously
    talkative (especially when they try to chew on it).
    
    Or name it after a *real* moderator? ;-)

    Is it the bunny ears cactus?
    Green with little red tufts of prickles?
    
    Cactus but almost looks like a succulent plant because it is
    so smooth.  Until you touch the red patches.
