The Dead Plant Society
Graham Rice has a good name for all the plant tags stuffed in a coffee can for whose actual plant parents have gone missing—he calls them his Dead Plant Society. We’ve all got something like it, a plant tag bucket or drawer that we shuffle through every so often.
I love it when I come across tags of plants that I can’t remember planting at all, and I’m sure I’ve never seen in my garden. Those are the ones that must have croaked immediately. I hate it when I come across tags of pink flowering plants, grrrr, since I’ve banned pink from my landscape. Must have been suffering from sun stroke when I bought those. Oh, what could have been.
Have any plant tag stories to share?
whatever
