 are little pores (holes) in the leaves through which 

 they breathe and when these are choked up with

 mouths to breathe through, we would be very un-

Oh, it is such fun and happiness to take care of 

 our plant friends when we know what they need 

 and what they do and how they grow. As I walk 

 among mine I can almost hear them talk to me and 

 to each one I have a different little greeting. I feel 

 perfectly sure they know and love me. I hope you 

 feel the same.
