Peace Lily
My mom came to visit for 6 weeks over the holidays, leaving a very large peace lily in a pan of water and hoping for the best. Upon return, this plant had completely wilted over all sides, looking dead. I had just read an article about saving "dead" plants by soaking them in water an inch above their potted line. I soaked it for several hours, drained it overnight, and left it alone in a cool place out of the sun. In the days that followed, it came back to life! All those limp, flat leaves resurrected! Only the blooms turned dark, and I cut them off after 5 days. One week later, it actually has two new tiny lilies and multiple new leaves unfurling. I never would have believed it if I hadn't watched it with my own eyes! So, of course I had to paint it! Painting number 2220 in 2220 days.
