Plants and their people

- — L.A. Times staff Danny Lopez

ONE OF THE best things we get to do as journalist­s is ask you, our readers, to send us things. We ask for serious things — like what questions you have about the vaccine. We ask for heartwarmi­ng things — like if you’ve fallen in love during the pandemic. With all of our reader callouts, we get a lot of quality submission­s. But never have we been so delighted as when we asked you to send us selfies of you with your plants and tell us why you love them.

Look at this beautiful sea of faces and plants and try not to smile. Almost impossible.

With our @latimespla­nts Instagram account we’ve created a community for plant lovers. These photos came from our followers, and we’re excited to put them into print this weekend. If this is the mood you want for 2021, follow along with us on IG. We have fun.
