It’s not very cool but seeing as I have such a bad memory, the fact that this sticks with me must account for something.
When I was going into my apartment building one day, back in 2014-ish, I found a bamboo shoot laying on the ground. Someone moving in or moving out had dropped it right near the sidewalk of the back entrance.
I couldn’t not pick it up. Poor little abandoned green stick. I took it inside and put it in water.
I don’t know if bamboo signifies luck but I did feel very lucky that day to not only have a free plant, but a bamboo plant nonetheless. I had never nurtured a bamboo plant before then but always admired them.
It was mine for about eight years and then somehow I killed it.
However, I did appreciate it so much that I bought a replacement for it.
