Observation: This actually looked like a bunch of weeds that were on their way to the dying stage. It just didn't look like a beautiful plant that I would want to hang in my office. Ironically, it is weed and it is used for medicinal purposes by Native American tribes (wikipedia.org, 2011). It really just looked like a bad plant that even if someone from a nursery tried to nurse it back to health that it might have been too far gone for that. Interestingly, I also found that it is poisonous to plant and livestock (wikipedia.org, 2011).
