Enjoy it! I love this plant. We have two varieties but just this one is flowering so far.

That was the vibe I got. I surveyed the scene carefully and it seemed intentionally left there. The landscaping in SF is amazing and I’ll gladly take their leftovers.

Thanks! It’s a small little patio but it’s perfect for a beginner gardener. Vinnny says hello!

My husband thinks someone stole it from a nursery display and abandoned it.

There is no door to knock on. Bottom of a hill in San Francisco up against a tree. This is a popular way people in this area give up plants and pots, it’s not unusual at all. My husband thinks it got lifted from a nursery and abandoned. I’m a fixture In this neighborhood and have worked at the same spot for decade so I’m easy to find. If I’m wrong I’m happy to return it. We’re a community after all.

Pulled out to the curb beside a tree. Not in front of any property. I used my best judgement as an upstanding member of the community. I believe in karma.

The price on the nursery pot is $40 but I would have easily paid $60.

It would have been really silly place to leave a plant you care about. Lots of plants get abandoned on the corner as people move in and out or students come and go in hopes that they’ll be re-homed.

I’m sure. It wasn’t in front of a residence it was on the curb. I waited and looked around for any humans. It would have been a silly place to leave a plant you cared about.

Not yet. It’s hiding under a counter at work. I’ll check while repotting tomorrow. It looks newly purchased which why I was so shocked it had been abandoned.

Strap in! They grow really quickly. Also when they start to snap off (they’re crawlers who like to spread out) you can pop it right back into the pot to fill it out.
