A stopcock on white wall is not a pretty sight.
To hide it, EJ bought a shell-shaped pot and grew (what the locals call) money plant in it.
As this particular pot has no drainage hole, EJ had to use a chair to climb up to see how much water was needed on a daily basis. Soon EJ found it too much of a bother and decided to replace it with the plastic version that needed zero care.

The plastic version looks real. So real that even a potter wasp got fooled and build her nest on one of the stalk. The nest was really a lovely work of art. EJ wished it could be kept but had to snip off that plastic stalk as a precautionary measure.
PS: Money plant is also known as the Pothos, Silver Vine, Centiped Tongavine, Devil's Ivy and Solomon Islands' Ivy. Its scientific name is Epipremnum Aureum. Animals lovers, please do take care as this plant is listed as toxic to cats and dogs due to the presence of calcium oxalates.

oooo...had no idea this plant was toxic. no matter, the brown cows avoid the money plant, preferring to sniff among my herbs instead. they miss their wheatgrass, though.
looks nice anyway..
artificial ones last long too
A smile from SJ =)
most importantly - it will not harm the cats!
