Trousers, Britches, breeks... I've heard it different ways, but there is the flower, a relative of Bleeding Heart.

Re: Re: Kabu ah but dear CCT. how awful not to keep teasing you every day
if I stopped blogging what else would I do? Wiley is too close to tease any more than I already do. He can run almost as fast as what I can talk!

Re:adnohr:
Well they don't go hunting Snow hares with big dogs Adnohr, If you could see the Major's old lady you might think that you were delicate.

Re: CCT
Naut he is pondering his career. Once upon a time one could but BB buttons kind of a press stud affair suitable for a clergy man's fly etc.

I'm not so sure that ladies can be termed 'delicate' in this day and age, CC. But I don't want to shock the Major, so I won't go into it here.

Even I, the illiterate botanist, have heard of bachelor buttons, though I would have a hard time describing them, LOL...But I hope that poor old Major Concrake will still be up to the occasional skirmish...

Re: As for Bachelor's Buttons, it's almost time for them again
Pat what are we going to do with you, but I guess it was consoling, and amusing in a sad way. Actually I have some cuckoo flowers growing in my lawn, and I have not seen any for years. I always picked them when I was a boy, they grew along the lane in the silence that awaited the drone of an enemy plane.

Re Ciel.
Ciel I take it that these are wildflowers, quite frankly I have never heard of bachelor buttons in bouquets, but I am familiar with the plant. I must confess I have not heard of Dutchman's trousers, and I can only think that the biologists who named this plant in England had never seen a Dutchman.

Re: Kabu
What a relief Kabu evidently you do not know, I must send the answer in a sealed envelope on your 90th birthday. You sound a little bit tired according to the vibes which come directly from Canada, just try and relax a bit,
this blogging is very tiring.

Re.;Wiley
WILEY One-day when I have a bit of time to spare I will tell you how to operate on a chicken that is crop bound. How to repair a tin saucepan with a pot mender. Also very important why you should not invite a gypsy woman to try your newly baked bread.

Chiff.Chaff.
I'm not one of your high class readers and I don't need to know how to skin a rabbit, ro fix my trousers. Not only that I can bake my own bread, make just about anything fixable, and I have to work harder than most to understand poetry, but I sure enjoy your company and love what you do with flowers. That's something else I don't do well at.

As for Bachelor's Buttons, it's almost time for them again
they grow wild along the rural parts of the road between here and Walmart... There are a few spots where the grass is allowed to grow, and those blue bachelor buttons nod in the breeze and remind me of the time of year when I broke up with Bobby, or he broke up with me, and I wore Bachelor Buttons in the ribbon of my straw hat...
