I also have sentimental plants. I have a plant growing crazy in my garden (Dierdre the waster) that was given to me by my brother in law George in the early 80s. She is no longer a pot plant and has become a huge deep purple ground cover, she's part of the family and a memory and after all these years I still refer to her by the name George once gave her.

Occasionally I vist old gardens of mine and it is surprising how much the remaining plants bring back memories and also it is strange perhaps but I always picture the gardens as they were when I was there not as they are now! Its like a movie running in contradiction to reality - perhaps a touch of the crazy?

I've never been able to get my cacti to bloom. I have memories attached to many houseplants, but not quite so much with the outdoor ones. We did give a Japanese maple to our neighbour kittycorner across the street for his 60th. They moved away later but I still think of them when I see that tree, grown huge now. Wow, beautiful!
