"I actually was in communication with the proprietor of the shop for over two months attempting to acquire this plant.
"Her birthday is June 6 and on June 1, I was told that they were unable to get the plant in stock.
"They then messaged a few days later on June 4 and told me they would be receiving one plant on the next day.
"I took a half-day off from work to go get it and got in line an hour before the store opened to be sure that I would get it.
"It came just in time for her birthday."
He also explained that Chelsie is a "plant fanatic" with "around 50" plants in their home.
