Some people say that unrequited love is the purest form of adoration.
This may be so among humans, but a plant that doesn't love us back should be spurned. Take, for instance, the bamboo. Those who have been to the Orient or have read Chinese poetry often are enamored of bamboo. Its graceful columns are, after all, a hallowed symbol of beauty and resilience in that part of the world. For the bamboo will not only grow tall if given a chance but will spread far, heedless of lot lines.
