Q: What kind of plant grows in Nebraska in January?

A: Plastic tulips, of course!

Jeremy and I took a walk during his lunch break last week on what had to be the warmest winter day in Nebraska ever. It was gorgeous outside. Jeremy spotted some blooms in on a corner lot and we had to investigate what kind of plant was blooming at this time of year. Hah! So now I’m both tickled and perplexed by the notion of a plastic plant gardener.

    Leave it to me to say…Hamammelis of course! Witchhazel. Usually blooms January/February depending on the winter. I should go check the one on campus and see how far along it is. I simply love that something blooms in the dead of winter. Also, the smell is great!

    I love the sense of humor. I’m loving the warm weather here in the mid-Atlantic as well. :)
