A dear friend and I are driving down the road and my eyes pop out of my head and I say Wow! whats that! It had huge leaves and tall flower stalk and a big plume of white flowers on it. You'd think I would know because I think I know everything, but I wasn't familiar with it. Her friend has one in her back yard and said it was Rhubarb. I'll be darned! You'd think I'd know that! I guess your suppose to cut the spike off to keep the plants vitality. I'm probably the only one who sees beauty in it. I went over to a ladies house to see if I could do some landscaping for her, and she complained of a vine she couldn't get rid of, and I didn't recognise it. It turned out to be kudzu --- Kudzu! Here in Indiana! I must be getting old, lol.
Well, those may not be bloopers, but you got to laugh. Is it just me? Or are a lot of things getting mislabeled. I think the funniest one last year was a gal planted a couple of cantaloupe plants, but they turned out to be pumpkins. We thought they mislabeled melons till they turned orange, lol. People decide that they don't want something and put it back in the wrong space, that happens in the plumbing dept. all the time. Sometimes bloopers can go right, like a clematis that has flowers bigger than my hand. Yum! So! Got any garden bloopers you care to share?
