I have been hanging around the garden all summer and I have stumbled onto something kind of weird.
I have noticed that many of the plants have animal names. Do we inspire them? Are they jealous of us? I don't know. Here are a few that I have found.
Lamb's Ears
Tiger Lily
Fox gloves
Bee balm

Strange, don't you think?
The last one is rather frightening. I think this is the real deal, not just a namesake.
Tick seed
Yes, this is where those gross ticks come from.
The PM thinks I am foolish but I think she knows the truth. If they were just a harmless, pretty flower why does she go out everyday to deadhead them?
Something strange is going on.

Flowers are weird! But have you felt how soft those lambs ears are? They are very nice to rub your face against!

I agree with Huffle, sometimes Mommy brings in a Lamb's Ear leaf for us to rub up against!
Oooh, creepy. Perhaps it's good after all that I'm just an indoor cat.
Those are purrty flower pictures! We've never felt lambs ear, but it sure sounds soft.

I think flowers are just jealous . . .
Those are some pretty flowers. We have foxgloves and lilies in our yard too, but so far no foxes have shown up looking for their gloves.

Ooooooo..we especially like the fox ones! It is funny that so many of them have animal names.
Yikes! I think you had better stay far, far away from the tick plant. Just in case.
Even though they have funny names they are purrrty!

Nature imitating Art, that's what it is! Mom loves Tiger Lily and Fox Glove!
Those are all very pretty flowers. Well, except for the tick one. Ew!
Happy Tuxie Tuesday!
I think the plants are named in the honor of the animals. I love all of the pretty flowers, but I am a little hesitant to get near the "tick" flower.
That is an interesting fact!! Just loke CATnip :o
I am not too sure about Tick seed, it might be dangerous,hiding behind a pretty face!Hmmmmmmmmmmm!
Thanks for checking this out :)
