Amazing plant ads and neighbor’s wild catalogue binge
A story about neighbors Babs and Jerry who chase catalogs from nurseries promising rapid growth, winter blooming flowers, tropical bananas, and a Venus flytrap. The plants misfire: a tree grows toward septic tanks, a banana crop dies from a drink in the pot, and the insect-eating plant spares no one. The couple later questions the ad’s truth as their yard becomes a humorous cautionary tale.
