I'm looking for Elvis Presley (Benson, 1978) TB, and Graceland (Dunn
1979) LA for my "Sounds to Me Like Tennessee" theme bed.
This has been a very successful bed in terms of sales, with Tennessee
Woman, Tennessee Gentleman and Tennessee Vol doing exceptionally well.
Late bloomers that would have done better had they bloomed earlier are
Grand Ol' Opry and Riverboat Blues, and perhaps the best of all, a vivid
red, Johnny Reb, came along after most garden visits had died off.
Hillbilly Heaven was an early bloomer and also underappreciated.
Next year I'll also add historics introduced from Nashville, and my
original idea of doing a Beatles bed has been tempered by the fact that
John, Little Paul and Ringo are different types, blooming at different
times, and John is really ugly (somebody will spring to it defense, I'm
sure), and I haven't yet found a George. I might do a pop music bed
instead. I'm suire I remember that somebody did a Pink Floyd.
Many of the Beatle song titles are memorialized by Bernard Pryor from
Australia, and if I'm going to go to the trouble of a sanitation
certificate to import, I'll wait until I can go there, do some Oz
birdwatching and pick stuff out from Barry Blyth and Heather and Bernard
during their bloom seasons.
That sounds like a plan.
