    Yes I have 2 left still. I am going well and enjoying being on fanstory more now that I don't go to my local writing group. Stay well Yvonne. 🥰🥰

It seems they do. Ha, ha.
Well presented and cleverly crafted.
A pleasure to read.
Some may say talking to plants is madness to which I reply;
The beauty and serenity found in the garden is well worth it.
Blessings

    You are so right. If they don't respond to talking, why do they grow better when we do talk to them. Thank you for this wonderful review.

I know you talk to plants and animals because you understand them and they know and love you! Thanks for sharing the conversation in your garden! Great entry to the challenge!!

Questions:
There are more colors in the cast at the top. Who's Nandina? Does she speak? I didn't see any Brown speech.

" I heard Petunia and Oxalis talking " is in Blue but isn't this Petunia talking?

    The color may not be a true brown. She talks about honeysuckle. Thanks for a kind review.

I just came in from talking to my plants. Since there isn't any people around I realize I'm talking all the time anyway and plants seem willing to listen. I gave them a drink to told them to pray for rain. I guess we're all having that problem. I enjoy your scrips and like hearing from all you plants and animals

    I'm glad to know I'm not he only one that talks all the time. I was so greatful when bluetooths came out. Now, it looks like I'm talking on the phone when I'm talking to myself. hahahaha. Thanks for a great review.

Who's the brown speaker? I guess I missed something. Anyway, I enjoyed reading. This is a very well written club entry. I do believe the plants do communicate with each other.

This is so sweet and magical, Yvonne. So you like turquoise? My best friend does too. This reminds me of The Velveteen Rabbit where the creatures come alive. A delightful response to the challenge. Blessings,

This definitely was a fantastic script, damommy. I loved the picture of the catapillar because it showed that they do exist and further that they do eat leaves. They actually have a verosucce appetite. Poor Begonia literally was eaten alive. It is good that there were all the other plants that could have attessed to that. Very well done, damommy, and greatly enjoyed. Blessings n Hugs!!!

Hi Yvonne, a fun story that made me smile. I love the chatter between all of them. Of special note:

--Last year, you ate all my leaves, and the other plants called me Baldy Begonia all summer.

(Oh, poor Baldy Begonia. I also heard that his head got a really bad sunburn last summer too. What's a leafless guy to do? Also, good alliteration on Baldy Begonia.)

--is everyone ready for the pollinators? They'll be arriving soon and bringing new gossip.

(Y, have them stop by my house--things are getting a little boring around here. I could use some "juicy" news. Lol.)

I also like how all your "characters" said good night to each other. It reminded me of the end of the Waltons. Good Night, damommy.
Lights outs. Well done. Xo. M

What an interesting bunch of plants etc, you shared in
this club story, Yvonne. I loved reading it. The color coding
of the characters was a great idea. The caterpillar was
depicted in a fun way. I really liked when he was told to turn
all of his feet in another direction and leave. The group seemed
to enjoy each other's company. They sounded just like a
group of friends meeting to talk and not afraid to question,
tease, or vent at the others (of course in a polite way).
Begonia seemed to be the leader. Willow Oak proved
his strength and resiliency when some of his family
members were lost in the tornado. All in all, your plants
loved and respected you, Damommy.
Thanks for sharing, Jan

You've almost convinced me that plants might talk. Well, notice I said almost. LOL. But either way, you've certainly made it fun to think that they might. Thanks for sharing.
