Personally, I don't find that very offensive but I am not Chinese.

Killed it dead. I felt awful about this. My sister thought I was ridiculous, since I'd given cuttings from this plant to all the nieces and nephews, and she even had two large plants started from it herself. She was right, of course, but when I was getting ready to throw mine out, I found a tiny little shoot. I have nursed it back to health. It is covered in blooms this year. We have discovered that my husband is allergic to it.
