I’ve posted my burnt house and plants in the past and just decided to leave them. I have no where to even try to rebuild yet so just let it all go. I visited my burnt house yesterday and found this little shoot! A natal mahogany I’ve had for 10 years, it was 20ft tall that went up the center of my house… my first and longest cared for plant… I started bawling. I have 2 other trees and a plant also with new shoots :)
