Ducky Update: to the rescue again!

For some of you that follow my private blog you might remember back in the beginning of 2008 that I inherited a plant from a coworker and promptly took on the task of rehabilitating her since she was in sad condition and in desperate need of some TLC.  I named her Ducky.  Here she is in all of her rehabilitated glory.  I took clippings and created new sprouts so that she looked fairly respectable I think. 

We had some time together for which I was grateful and she brightened my day most of the time.  I got pregnant and we had our first baby so I relocated ducky to her original owner shortly before I left on maternity leave so that she could be taken care of.  I wasn't sure how long I would be out of the office for. 

Recently when I took on a new position I discovered that Ducky had been abandoned in a move and nobody was looking after her.  I felt bad but since I wasn't working at my main office very much I didn't feel I could give her the care she needed so I ignored her.   She was already in this state by then.  Utterly unloved and hardly cared for.  I can watch no longer and so I begin the Ducky rescue project once again.  Here is how she was after I picked her abandoned self up today and moved her to my desk.  I removed a few of the dead husks and leaves and the lone stem that remains fighting for life is what I have to work with now.  We'll do our best.  Quite frankly I'm not sure how much I'm going to be able to do for her in just a few short months but I hope that I'll be able to restore her back to her former glory because she deserves better than I gave her when I handed her over.   Goodluck Ducky! We're rooting for you.
