    Wife tested me

    Couple of days ago we went to the nursery and bought two bushes to put on each corner of the front porch and planted them. Lat night my wife tested me. She asked if I remember the name of the two bushes. I told her "Of course I do. I named them Bob and Joe, easy names to remember". I think I passed the test.

    Were they Hydraniums?
    You can lead a horticulture,
    but you can't make her think.
