So we named this guy Seymour. Maybe it should have been Audry, but I'm not that big of a movie geek. Anyway, Kalee received this plant from her cousin Liz. I think it looks like the man eating plant from Little Shop of Horrors. Judge for yourself.
It's flora and fauna day here at the show. Marcus and I were outside (duh) and he wanted me to make sure I took a picture of the bee. He had a hard time seeing the dragon fly, so I took a picture of it too to show to him.
EDIT: An update, Seymour is an Epiphyllum oxypetalum. It is a type of cactus, native to Central America. The link above is to Wikipedia, and has some other cool links including a time-lapse video of one blooming. From the looks of it the pictures we have here are probably just before or just after blooming.
Molly Update: We went to the oncologist twice this week, and both times her blood counts were good, I guess this is the thing they check the most, to ensure that she isn't at risk of infection. The chemo really reduces your immune system, which is mostly based on white blood cells. She has an earache and doesn't like the medicine for that very much. Otherwise, she seems to be doing a lot better, and is her happy playful self.
