You take pictures of your plants. Admit it. If you're reading this blog, you definitely have a few photos of flowers and vegetables tucked away on your hard drive. And if it were socially acceptable, you'd whip 'em out of your wallet and display them at the office alongside those of the kids.
But, alas, most people at the office wouldn't understand.
Fear not the man in the white coat, my friend, you're among like-minded lunatics. And the Knock Out rose people, Conrad-Pyle, are having a photo contest that's right up our... allee, searching for the most creative uses of Knock Out roses.
I have 17 of those beauties myself, mostly "red," though I'm sure you know what the plant tag calls "red" actually is more like a hot pink. Just look how cute she looks nestled around those Allium 'Globemasters.' She looks just like her daddy, doesn't she?
The contest runs June 1 through October 31; enter at theknockoutrose.com.
Grand prize is $350 plus 5 Knock Out roses and 10 companion plants. Runners up get $150 plus 5 Knock Outs.
Sweet.
