Head Honcho Horticulture: Who's the Real Botanical Boss?

 

Once upon a time, I said moss was boss.  But that's not true.  Because Bob Ross is boss, despite (or perhaps because of) his ever-serene demeanor.  The other day, I was filling a flamingo planter with fake flowers when I had a sprig leftover and thought, why not give it to Bob?  

He deserves a 'fro grow, especially because I never allowed him to reach his Chia Pet potential.  

So bloom where you're planted, Bob.  This bud's for you.

Tis the season of the Chia Pet, as any TV watcher and drugstore shopper knows.  I never had one of the kitschy critters.  But I did have a Grass Head, which was a strange knock-off consisting of a burlap ball.  It had earrings too, artistic-looking spirals that glinted most attractively against Ms. Grass's emerging green tresses.

Although I haven't yet discovered how to coax accessories from Chia's signature terra cotta planters, I do have a trio of ch-ch-ch-cherry blasts from the past.  Mmmm.  Breathe in that new background smell.
