See how many of these 'Sleeping Beauties' you can identify. You Northerners should do better on this. The photographs were just taken in Minnesota. What else is there to do during the long frozen winter? Answers are in the side bar, lower on the page.
Gardening doesn't have to be about wearing bonnets, drinking tea, listening to classical music and serving dainty finger sandwiches while you discuss the finer points of an "English Cottage Garden". (No offense if that's what you like)...And nothing against the English...I have friends who speak English.
what people are saying about 'the rock and roll gardener' :
"I like how you have fused your two interests. Now I won't feel guilty anymore when I go in the garden and put on a Clapton or G n' R on the ipod".
"That has got to be the coolest Blotanical post I've ever read...and yes, I'm ready to party! "
"oooh...the dominatrix R'nR gardener...what are you wearing and is it edible"?
"I've said it before, I'm saying it again: You and your blog ROCK"
"Love the blog -Absolute genius! and good to see the 'Hothouse Flowers' are still getting a mention".

If trees could scream, would we be so cavalier about cutting them down? We might, if they screamed all the time, for no good reason. - Jack Handey

"One day you'll walk into the tattoo shop of life and say: I'm back. ..I'm ready for my new tattoo, and her name is rock~n~roll...Now it's time to make it permanent. You will have been through all the temporary 15 minutes of flash.You will come to realize that you've been being served fast food music and disposable heroes for too long....You know what the man behind the counter will say? _We knew you'd come back."---Motley Crue

Dude Weather Rocks !
Even if you don't live in the Twin Cities, you gotta check out Dude Weather! My favorite basement studio, chain-smoking weatherman.
You are warm, unique, and pretty dominant.
It's also pretty likely that you smoke or like fire.
You are energetic and intense. You definitely stimulate people.
