Um . . . well, a bathroom isn't somewhere you go to for leisure
activities -- and mine, at least, have NO windows.

To each his or her own, I suppose.

And I still say that best, most trouble-free, response for one
who isn't a devoted grower of bonsai is a plastic "Ming" tree.
It simply is NOT a suitable environment for a tree for anyone
who isn't an "expert."

Maybe you're confusing bathroom (bathtubs, showers, jacuzzies, etc.) with
toilet (WC). ;-)

Nah. I don't confuse THAT easily. I don't want a tree in my
shower, either, and as for my bathtub . . .

My jacuzzi, if I had one, would be on the deck. THERE, I'd have
a tree -- or two.

You're lucky you live in Florida. People in colder climates have jacuzzies
indoors. Well, some have them in- _and_ out-doors but that's beside the
point. I wish I had a living bathroom like Druid. Imagine bathing among the
trees. Under the branches. Better yet, let's make that a pool. Or a lake.
With a waterfall instead of jacuzzi. With regular size trees on the shore.
Hm... but then bonsai would be somewhat obsolete. Anyway, until then, living
bathroom could ba a nice approximation. ;-)

Yeah . . . with Charlie, Frances, Ivan, and now Jean. THEY seem
to think it's a neat place.

Urk! That's why someone INVENTED bathrooms, so you DON'T have
to bathe among the trees, and the mosquitoes, and leeches, and
other assorted denizens of the natural world.

There are no mosquitoes (let alone leeches) in living bathrooms. Usualy,
there are no trees either. But like I said: _imagine_. ;-)
