Avogadro the avocado

I never knew one could grow the seed of the common supermarket avocado. I guess it's not like the sterile domesticated banana. But put an avocado pit in soil, keep it moist, and poof! A month later, a sprout! And fruit flies. I like to think they're nurse fruit flies, taking care of the budding plant, but probably not. Much to the dismay of my co-workers, they have been migrating around the office to whoever wore the fruitiest perfume that day. But hey, what did they expect when they hired a geneticist?!

I've named him Avogadro. He's sitting in the loving shade of an aging Amy Amaryllis.
