That is too funny. I used to bring home plants and either pot them up right away and tuck them in amongst everything or plant into the flower bed, hoping that they would have been there all along. Not the case in most circumstances.
I figure, we each have our own hobbies or activities that bring us happiness and a time where we can lose ourselves. At least this is how it works for me. I do not think about too much when I am working with my plants.
