This
happened in Columbus, Ms !!
I almost had a heart attack
this week. My son got me a potted plant for my birthday kept it on my kitchen
counter the whole time and this week it was warm enough to plant
outside so I took it out to plant tried to get it out of pot
with no luck so I wet it really good and the plant came out it was in a
decorative glass container with no holes in it and had another pot cut and
wedged into the glass pot so after I planted the flower I got a knife to get the
plastic pot from the glass. One had to wedge a knife around the sides to
get it out. When I did this something moved. I told Ron it looked like a snake,
so I called my son. He took the liner out, to our surprise, low and behold
not one snake but two baby copper heads. I almost died, been upset since then. When
we took the plastic pot from the glass one, there was a piece of card board up
the side of we think that there must have been eggs in the holes of
the card board at the growers and when it got hot they must have hatched
out. I am sending you pictures. Take my advise don't bring plants inside.
this could have been really - really bad. This plant was bought at
the grocery store. I will not give the name of the store I don't want to ruin
there business, just don't want to put the name on the news I'm sure it
wasn't anything they knew about. It's the grower that should be more
careful in potting theses plants. I just want to warn you guys not to bring
plants inside who know what could be lurking way down under those roots. I am
only thankful it
was not a
plant to be kept inside
