Reply #33: I want silk plants

[Pithlet]

I,too, cannot keep a plant alive to save my life, except for one. There is a church that keeps leaving us freebies to bribe us to join their Church. Water bottles, light bulbs, snacks, etc. with pithy messages about their church ("Let us be the light in your life!"). Recently they left a little pot of pansies. By the time I noticed they were there, they looked dead, dead, dead. I took them in anyway, gave them some water and they perked right up, and are THRIVING, despite having me for a caretaker. I think the Church rigged those flowers to try to send me a message. I call it my Jesus plant.

Anyway, I'd like to get some nice silk plants, particularly since we may be selling our house soon. Where are some great places to look?
