My boss at the CIA (that's the Cleveland Institute of Art, where I work as a life drawing model) sent this Spathiphyllum floribundum, commonly known as the Peace Lily, to my room when I was in the hospital in 2003.
To care for them, you're supposed to let the leaves get all droopy before you water them, at which point they spring back to life. Well, I thought that would make a cool animation, so I set up my digital camera and took nine or ten shots of it as the leaves stiffened up, then wove them together into a .gif animation and named it "Houseplant Aerobics."
Thanks Carrie, for the plant, to Laureen Deveney for bringing it home for me, and especially to Chester at the UBC Botanical Garden forum for helping me save it when it was gravely ill!! (I don't let it wilt anymore before watering it.)
