I planted a hibiscus fireball on the side of my house in a little bed that runs along the path leading to the gate to the backyard. Well it is a new house and I have had many problems. I have had to fight the builder every step of the way. Because of this, I have had many city folks out here including the guy from the permit/inspection office and today the tax assessor came to review his assessment. I can't count how many people keep thinking I am growing marijuana on the side of my house. Today, the tax assessor just stopped in his tracks, looked at me and said "nice plant you got growing there!"
I get such a kick out of it. Do they really think I would be so stupid as to grow marijuana and if I did, would I put it on the side of the house, right up by the front where you can even see it from the street? Glad I didn't plant the poppies that I thought about planting too!
