Star Begonia or Sensitive Plant?

Let me tell you about the best moment of my life. It all started when I was at the greenhouse minding my own business. I was hanging out with some of my plants, when my life was suddenly dug up. If I can remember correctly, I was with Coyote plant and Silver-Vase, just reminiscing over the good old days back in the nursery when everything seemed to be so much easier. Before I go on to the rest of the story, let me tell you about “my boys.” Coyote, Silver-Vase, and I have always been a tight knit group of shrubs. In case you were wondering, Coyote isn’t his real name, but rather a nickname we gave him because he looks like a cartoon silhouette of a Coyote. He doesn’t really smell, which is nice, because there are several guys in the Greenhouse that just fog up the joint. Coyote is my bodyguard, his leaves are among the biggest I have ever seen, I think he might be on fertilizer though. He is a pretty smooth guy, and stays pretty calm unless you rub him the wrong way, in which case he can get rough. All in all, he is a very cool plant. My other home boy, Silver-Vase, is misleading. You expect him to be fairly normal and green like all the other guys, but when you look at him, he appears to be covered in this silver-white powdered sugar looking material which flakes off if you touch him. Personally, I think he has dandruff, and I’ve recommended he use Head & Shoulders, but hey, who am I to judge my bud? In addition, S.V. is kinda rounded if you know what I mean, he is sort of bowl shaped and top heavy. Other than that though, S-V is an awesome friend, and I wouldn’t trade him for another plant him the dirt.
Okay, fine, you win, I will return to the juicy part of the story. So I was talking with my friends, when Rosemary walked up to me. She is one of the most popular plants in the Greenhouse. She is pretty dark in color, quaint and simple, but has a sturdy backbone. She has this awesome slender figure that just shines during photosynthesis, she is so green it’s unbelievable. I have had a crush on her since I can remember, but I cannot do anything about it because she is dating the most popular plant I know, Star Begonia. He is ‘the plant’, he is the Captain of the Varsity Football team, he was the Plant King, and he just got recruited to another shelf to play Football for them next year. This plant has it all. He is a dark maroon, mixed with green. His arms are long and spiky like tentacles, and let me tell you from personal experience, they can do some damage if you get to close to him. You can spot him from across the aisle, as his commanding and intimidating demeanor just puts him above the rest of the plants.
So, back to Rosemary, when she came up to me in the Greenhouse, she asked if we could talk. I nervously said “yes.” She asked me if I would help her study for her examination next week. Before she could finish the question, I eagerly agreed to help her. Are you ready for the best part? She said she wanted to meet me by the Mistletoe Fig! Do you realize what that means? The Mistletoe Fig has tear drop shapes, although if you turn your head, perhaps heart shaped? The plant is full of figs, which brings a lighter green contrast to the rest of the plant’s dark shade. Anyway, you all know what a Mistletoe means, don’t you? STOP. I have some bad news for you readers, my blog’s name is “What is PC?”, and I don’t think it would be “PC” if I told you what went down with Rosemary. I will just end my story by saying, that night was the best night of my life. The only down side of this was that I forgot to get watered after studying, so the next day at the Greenhouse Star Begonia walked by me and noticed I smelled like Rosemary...those tentacles can really do some damage.
