THE FLOWER POT SCARECROW


Little is known about him. The guardian of plants. He is simply as the title states The Flower Pot Scarecrow.


In the rare photograph, captured with a hidden paparazzi Kodak 898 with ultra sensitive photo lens by famed photographer Eric Goldman, the Flower Pot Scarecrow takes a break from his appointed job.


It takes a lot of effort to ensure plants of all kinds have enough water and rich soil to survive the elements. Far too often, the gardeners forget their gardens.


While they may well be attracted to fully bloomed out plants in plant shops or Home Depot, once the newness has worn off and reality has set in, the plants suffer, wilt, and die.


But on his rounds, the Flower Pot 'Crow comes to the rescue. Loam is his specialty. Hydration is secondary but essential.


Some say he doesn't exist. And that's ok. Those are the ones whose plants don't last. The believers see theirs flourish without any assistance by them. They are utterly dependent upon the Scarecrow. He watches and waits. Sometimes he even takes a break. But not often.
