Are you ready for your daily dose of plant puns? Hold onto your gardening gloves because we’re talking about nerdy, horticulture humor! First up, let’s chat about those adorable little bulbs affectionately known as “s-h” bulbs. Who knew that this Southern African hyacinth relative would become a horticultural sensation? Well, probably Jenks Farmer III – that’s who!
Speaking of Jenks, this guy is the mastermind behind Beech Island’s most whimsical garden designs. Pineapple lilies, specialty bulbs, and whatever else he can get his green thumbs on, are staples in his garden borders. You may think that home gardening is a simple hobby, but Mr. Farmer takes it to the next level!
You know you’re a true horticulture fanatic when your house is overrun with perennials, shrubs, and seeds from your mail-order nursery. We wonder if Jenks ever gets any mail that isn’t plant-related. Maybe his bank statements and pizza coupons get mixed in with a few extra seeds? Who knows! Jenks is just happy to spread his passion for plants to anyone and everyone!
While most of us are just trying to keep our houseplants alive, Jenks is out there creating meadow-style gardens that are the talk of the town. No big deal! But let’s be real, if you gave us a spade and some shovels, we would probably end up with a lopsided mound of dirt. Hey, at least we tried!
So there you have it folks, a glimpse into the world of a bulb-loving, garden-obsessed, mail-order nursery owner. Who knew that plants could be so punny and puns could be so planty? It’s a match made in horticultural heaven!
