He's just asked me if I wanted to go to the garden centre tomorrow.

I asked him why he thought that, his reply:

"Well, I thought you might like to buy that green thing."

I asked him what green thing he meant.

He replied "You know, that green thing with leaves"

Well, that narrows it downgrinand

Turns out, after further questioning, he meant a rather lovely hellebore that I had admired on our last visit!

Bless him!

My podiatrist was discussing plants with a patient who said she must see her amazing Chlamydia.

Splutter!

Mr P did something similar, asking the garden centre lady if she had any trailing labia in stock.

I go cold whenever I see DD or SIL wandering round the garden 'looking' at things. What they know about plants would not even fit on the smallest postage stamp.
It has been my project since I moved here and after 8 years it is finally looking good.

He probably thinks that the vulva is a Swedish motor car.

Trailing labia, now there's a thought.

Perhaps, SpringyChicken could be a bit like old men's earlobes, iykwim?

Suddenly, the tone of this thread has lowered. Haha.

I’m shocked. I’m tempted to divert thread to vegetables.
My son sent me this clip this morning.
