in the end, plants just sit there.

Damn, wouldn't gardening be a lot more popular with the X-Games set if that weren't true?

Personally, I find gardening a lot more exciting when there's food at the end of it, so flowers have never really done it for me.

I was thinking more in terms of the entertainment value of them doing a little dance or singing a little song....

You can buy those, you know, especially around "THE HOLIDAYS": dancing, singing potted plants. I think I prefer ferns.

Now, to mow.

I like a fern. Nice, hardy, low-maintenance plants.

At least I don't have to mow any more. Back when Mom and Dad had a house with a huge yard, Dad indulged himself in a riding mower. He and I used to fight over who got to mow. :) And Mom used to freak out, thinking we'd kill ourselves with it. (Especially after Dad added the drink holder, for evening cocktail time....)

The only singing potted plant I've seen was Audrey, from Petshop of Horrors, and I don't think she was what I'm looking for.
