I was walking through the Zenoss office today, and noticed we had a few plants. One orchid which is impossible to kill and a few others that looked pretty bad. In fancy offices of established companies I guess they have services that come in and water. Here’s what you get when you are a technology start-up:
| Stumpy the Reception Area Plant | Kelly’s Lovely Flower |

We’ve been going for 10 years, and up until last year, we still had plants that looked that bad!
