The Funniest Nursery Plant Listing
At first glance everything looks fine.
Then...
I suggest you scroll DOWN to the end of page 1 and read it UP TO THE TOP, plant by plant.
Some of the descriptions are downright...well...hilarious.

That IS funny Erik.
Jim, the directions are the icing on the cake!
Hey folks, let's post our favorites from their list:
I think this is mine: Camellia 'Parker Bowles' $13.95
Companion plant for Juniperus horizontalis 'Prince of Wales'. Very hard to explain appeal.
Nope, it's this one:
Chamaecyparis pisifera 'Golden Showers' $3.00 per day rental
Nope, it's this one:
'Moron' $15.00
If you want things seedless, thornless, classless, and clueless.
In case anyone is wondering, this is the creative work of the staff at Plant Delights Nursery (aka Tony Advent's crew).
I can only imagine the fun they had doing this...over several bottles of wine no doubt.

Nope, this is my fav:
Poisonous Plants (with reversible cover saying The Salad Garden on the other side. A great gift for in-laws.)
Seinfeld would be proud of the creators of Shady Deals Nursery authors.

Jim,
I'm glad you have such a good a sense of humor.
In that spirit, how about ordering:
NEW! Gunnera manicata 'Jerry Garcia' (Gratefully Dead Gunnera) $35.99
We thought we would get by without trying another gunnera, but heard this selection was tougher and more tolerant of adverse conditions. Although it's been wildly popular, we quickly filed this away in our album of been there, killed that.
