Closing Bell: Late Bloomers
Hey, the Christmas decorations may already be up around the borough, but as far as mother nature is concerned, it’s still summer. Hydrangeas, roses, and even this…this..this unnamed flower sported blooms on 8th Street in the Slope. Bonus points for those who can identify it.

Look, you fools. You’re in danger. Can’t you see? They’re after you. They’re after all of us. Our wives, our children, everyone. They’re here already. YOU’RE NEXT!

It’s Mandevilla.
You guys are hopeless.

bren, I was thinking of saying that “we already have a Lodi Creeper here, so what’s one more”, but thought better of it. You know me so well. 🙂
Hmmm… just checked out Port St. John’s Creeper, Cobblehiller, but I don’t think that’s it… but heck,
Biff could have a field day with Port St. John’s Creeper! 🙂
Here is a site with a picture of a Mandevilla.

The buds are the same.
DIBS, there likely isn’t such a thing. I just thought it worked well in the joke. Don’t get excited or start having thoughts of returning to high school as a mature student!
Bren, I wish. I would love to go there, but haven’t been yet.
Ok, in my flower book it looks like it might be: Port St. John’s creeper?
Biff, were you on that class trip to the Phillipines as well? 🙂
