Sometimes you just have to chill after gardening and think outside the box. Out there, you can tickle your funny bone and watch what happens. Here’s a glimpse:
Any bee can balm.
I sedum before.
I aster but she said no.
Why don’t trumpet vines make any sound?
Who punched those black-eyed susans?
Why aren’t burning bushes hot?
Globe thistles like to travel. Who knew?
Hollyhocks anything she finds.
Spirea can’t see for looking.
Why don’t fleece flowers ever get sheared?
Lamb’s ear can’t hear anything.
Ribbon grass never made a bow.
Why is Zebra grass neither black nor white?
Has loosestrife ever caused trouble? (rhetorical question)
Why doesn’t goutweed affect your feet?
Ever see dandelions caged in the zoo?
Ever see a weeping willow cry?
Has crooked willow ever done anything wrong?
Rosemary won’t answer if you call.
Joe Pie weed makes me hungry.
Ever hear a valerian speech at a convocation?
Sit astilbe as you can.
Everyone likes the limelight sometimes.
It’s daphne to stop before you finish.
He never scratched so much as when he had chives.
Some roses have large hips.
How can mint hold onto a spear?
Irises will never open their eyes.
Hit your head and you’ll be at risk of artemesia.
Take someone hosta and you’ll be in trouble.
Have you heard the Bells of Ireland ringing at weddings?
I know yew can think of more examples, but it’s thyme to quit before we all go daisy!
Hope this makes your day a little more holly.
Keep sharp!
