ML goes gardening

ML's back from the Twentypence Garden Centre. She has items for our gardenette. Pelargonium? Stocks? I know so little ... "One of them is rare and unusual," she says.

 

I look at the rare and unusual one. It's the one at the back in this picture. It's a brown stick with a Latin name: Rarus Unusualis x Wotonearthus. Its label tells us it will grown to four feet high. That's tall for a brown stick.

 

Some time back I wrote a radio commercial for the garden centre which was rejected by the client. I created a character called Bob who worked at the centre and the text ended with this couplet:

 

"And I'll find him at the Twentypence Garden Centre Wilburton?"

"Yep, just ask four Bob. Twentypence? (laughs)"

 

Well it tickled me.
