This one made its chrysalis a day or two ago. Today I see it lost its bottom attachment. Hanging by its 'belt'. Does it need help?
I was planning to take this pot to work , library, and show kids. But should I leave this stem home ? Looks precarious and I would hate it to fall off.

Sally, I remember seeing something online about that!!...use dental floss or something

"My work is loving the world. Here the sunflowers, there the hummingbird — equal seekers of sweetness. Here the clam deep in the speckled sand. Are my boots old? Is my coat torn? Am I no longer young, and still not half-perfect? Let me keep my mind on what matters, which is my work which is mostly standing still and learning to be astonished." — Mary Oliver, from Messenger
