I found this photo in a dorm room at Dartmouth College around 2018. I’d love to return the photo to whoever lost it. Anyone know these people?

Due to a family emergency, I was unexpectedly out of town for an extended period of time without the ability to access or have anyone else access and care for my plants. I just got back. I came home knowing most of my plants would be gone, but it’s still crushing to see them like this.

The pothos mother plant (top shelf on left) is one I’ve had for nearly a decade. And she gave me so many other plants too.

I’m telling myself my caretaking was needed elsewhere (and it was) but I’m still so sad. I’m also about to move too, so I don’t really know what’s going to happen to the plants that are still alive or nearly so.

Has anyone had to start over? How did you handle the loss and guilt?
