ReplyDeleteGood job on naming the flora, Walt. You picked up local terminology very quickly, I'd say.
Very funny. I rather like the idea of a flower named Darryl. How about one called Ethel too?
ReplyDeleteI have been reading yours and Ken's blogs for about 6 months now and this one is among my favorites. It really made me giggle. Thank your for the uplift and your daily posts. I look forward to them every day, gets me through the morning before the opening bell at my desk here on Wall Street. And no, I am not a greedy fat cat.

ReplyDeleteI thought by now, one of your bloggers would be able to give the botanic names to your photogenic species...I guess those bloggers are taking a break, today!
ReplyDeleteAre you going to show us the other two related species to the third flower, common name, Darryl, tomorrow? Darryl and Darryl? I thought there were three of those guys at that Inn up in Vermont with Bob Newhart? hehehe
