This little one survived despite being a runty button for a year (size of my thumb). He's really picky about everything, i.e.. bronzes up in overhead light, etc. Also, considering that is a stone cup in the shape of a pineapple, he wasn't very comfortable for a while. This was my "Dremel a hole, everything is a planter" times. These are unassuming and kind of a staple, but fun to watch. They're always ready to tell me what they want :)
