Rose is Rose by Don Wimmer and Pat Brady for October 04, 2024

“Wheeee…!”

The hanging fern above my stepfathers recliner started looking a little brown so my mother called the nursery to see if they could identify the cause. Nursery lady asked if she’d had a smoker in the house recently, and she said no, in fact my stepfather had just had to quit on doctor’s orders.

That was the answer. From hanging directly over Ralph’s chair, the plant had become addicted to secondhand smoke and was going thru nicotine withdrawal.

Way to go, Jimbo!

I wonder, do plants get dizzy?

You forgot to add a couple of spritzes of mist.

Jimbo is a plant whisperer.

Bringing to mind “Ella Swings Gently with Nelson,” one of several fine albums by Ella Fitzgerald and Nelson Riddle.

Hopefully the plant’s not prone to motion sickness…

Don’t hit Jimbo.
