From Law & Order: Criminal Intent tonight. (I know; I don't have much of a
life.)

Female officer, picking up a plant (African violit?) at a crime scene: "Someone has a brown thumb. The leaves are thriving, but no flowers."

Male officer (Vincent D'nofrio) without turning to look: "Too much notrigen."

Here's the problem. No one bothered to notice that the plant was sitting in the middle of a dim room, well away from any window. Yet the plot seems to be turning on this.

I've seen several instances of this kind of thing. There was a commercial where a woman who had been suffering from some malady was now out planting tulips with her dog. While there were daffodils blooming in the forground.

I think there is a column in this. But even I, the King of Padding, can't get 700 words out of two incidents, one only vaguely remembered. Does anyone have any movie or television scenes where they could have benefited from a horticultural consultant?

Hey, is that a new employment opportunity?
