Replace this Title
by Kamila Moravcikova


I am so happy! I've just found out that a new rare palm tree has been discovered on Madagascar. You can think there is nothing special about palm tree. But this is not an ordinary palm! This one can flower! Okay, maybe that's not what makes this palm tree so extraordinary. This palm is also self-destructive kind. Can you imagine that? This poor unknown palm tree waits like one hundred years and is doing nothing, just standing and pretending that is just plebeian plant. After a century, she's obviously bored, so she starts flowering. And you can make a bet, that what this palm performs is not routine flowering you've seen so many times! At the end, she looks like a Christmas tree. And then this charming palm tree simply dies. After giving the audience the best of her, after unforgettable show, she simply commits a suicide. I am so glad! Of course, I am sorry for losing such a astonishing palm tree. What's making me so excited about all this is that it's finally confirmed that I have never killed any of my plants! To satisfy my need of being in natural environment I used to have some flowers and plants in my bedroom. Unfortunately, none survived. And after that Madagascan revelation it's clear that they all committed suicide as they were self-destructive species! Though, I forgot to water them sometimes. And my room is not really sunny and I kept moving them...
