impyI am so effing tired I lack the words to fully explain how tired I am. But widget returns today and there are a few things I need to do before he comes home. Paid my taxes [score!] and now I can buy shiny flowers.
But, apparently not my shiny rose as it's sold out. FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK.
Today? Not. My. Day. Who else waited twenty minutes for their breakfast only to find out, once they got home, that the order was wrong? At least it was just onions and not tomatoes. Ick.
*sips soda and is happier* Blew a small bit of money on my gardening goodness. Didn't get my pretty purple rose, obviously, but got the other two I liked almost as much. Gotta save something for next year, I guess. I'm trying to decide what else to get.
From one side of the internet, we have these lovelies:
[black gamecock iris, corkscrew vine, light at dawn Japanese Iris]
I'd never be able to utter the name of the first iris because we are Tigers and not even adding, "But it's Louisiana!" would help my cause any. And for everyone who is blinking and scratching their head: Clemson/USC mascots.
Anyway, the only problem is I don't know where to put the corkscrew vine. I want it, I just don't know... where. The irises are for near the steps, I think. But I'd like something else, but at the same time [how many buts are there, dude?] I'm not exactly thrilled at no fun codes. I know. I'm spoiled rotten. ROTTEN. But you love me anyway.
Dahlias: Lilac Time, Sabrina, Who Dun It
Thing is... I've no clue how I feel about dahlias other than I think those three are pretty. Free shipping also goes a long way towards the pretty.
Hrmm. Thoughts? Suggestions? Alternatives to the above?
I'm resisting the urge to throw wisteria in there somewhere because if I really wanted to experience the bee induced hysteria, I could walk down to the end of the street. Or wait and just walk outside and breathe in. I miss having some in my own yard, but I don't really miss the extra bees. The holly brings enough as it is.
