Botany is the study of things like plants, trees, flowers and
bushes - things that grow in the earth. That's the formal name
that is used when one is studying the subject. When you are just
going out and having fun with it, it's called
gardening.
Some of the names in botany can be confusing. Take 'rose' for
example. It really doesn't grow in rows at all. Very misleading.
In addition, you should never confuse 'rose' with 'roes.' These
are supposedly eggs, though there's something fishy about that
claim as well. Roes don't smell at all like roses. They also have
no thorns. That makes it easy to tell them apart. Also easier to
eat.
Even the name 'plants' can be confusing, as plants are also people
who are really part of a magician's, mentalist's, or hypnotist's
show but are seated in the audience. They are not usually green,
though, unless they are really jealous. Some factories are also
called plants. They may be painted green and may even still be
growing, but you don't need to water them.
Bushes are green and leafy and sometimes have flowers on them.
Some well-known ones are privet hedge, lilac, rhododendron, George,
Jeb, and Dubya.
Flowers are very popular on Valentine's Day and also when you are
baking a cake. You can put some in your hair to make you look like
a hippie or to make you look really old.
So enjoy the spring and your gardening and be sure to take out all
the weeds. Just don't let the police see them.
