A plant pundit comments on plants, the foibles and fun of academic life, and other things of interest.
Why in blue blazes do we need this?
One of the reasons people love to look through seed catalogs is to see what’s new. Although not actually new, Briggs Nursery introduced this 2 years ago, it just didn't register until the 2011 crop of seed catalogs. One item raises a question. Why in ever lovin’ blue blazes do we need pink blueberries? This is one of those things that you have to wonder why spend the time and effort to breed a pink blueberry? Did they discover this while waiting for these berries to finally ripen, and they just never did? Perpetually unripe berries, wow! Oh, no, is this is another example of the trouble our country is in? John Birch wouldn’t like this one bit, creeping commie pinko fruits invading our ‘mercan pie crusts. Way to go Briggs; you on a list now. We'll be keeping an eye on you and your little dog too.

Good heavens! Are you a blue-blooded American or some kind of Commie Pinko? The question in the Great Capitalist Democracy is not "do we need this" but "can we make a profit selling this"?
The Phactor is a flaming moderate, but clearly not a good barometer of a successful business venture.
