News Flash- This is reporter Ryan Beecrest in a small town in Northern California where the Grand Jury is secretly meeting, to bring an indictment in a case that even has Californians amazed. California, known as the land of fruits and nuts, is as famous for it’s cults as for its natural beauty.
Our secret source inside the Grand Jury tells us that they are gathering evidence to indict a member of this small town in what seems to be a plot to turn gardens everywhere Pepto Pink! The leader of this strange cult is said to be a pleasant woman, of a generous nature, who sends out boxes of her garden cuttings and seeds all over America. But is this generosity, or just part of the bigger plan to turn all things pink. Stay tuned for film at 11, where our cameras caught Kell, the alleged ringleader of the cult, putting a strange and slightly smelly fertilizer tea on some gorgeous pink plants.
Dateline San Diego: In a related case an alleged cult member going by the code name “mpabbott1”, was turned in by her husband after she maxed out her credit cards buying such plants as Butterfly, Equador Pink, Rosamond, and Pink Beauty. The nefarious cult member managed to escape and was last seen coming out of a garden center pushing a cart full of pink daisies, pink impatiens, and of course a flat of Dianthus; commonly know as “Pinks”. Scared bystanders said they heard her mumbling that she’d do anything to get hold of a Double Pink Brugmansia. Anything!
Late Breaking Newsflash: Our inside sources say that this plot to turn the world Pepto Pink has national, perhaps even international implications. What looks to outsiders as an innocent gardening club may be a cover for the worldwide domination of the color pink plot? Hybridizing leaders and growers hide behind innocent names such as Calalily, Monika, BrugAddict, and Brugnanny, now entice us with Double Pink Brugmansia with names such as Day Dreams and Fascination.
Can this plot be stopped? Do we even want it to be stopped…
Watch for more late breaking news as it happens.
Beecrest, Out!
The Pepto Pink Plot :-)
LOL LOL. You pepto pink nut!!
That IS the question...do we want it stopped? Do we want our children and grandchildren influenced by this unabashed generousity and beauty? Do we want THEM addicted to and by the same questionable gifts?
I think the government (whose?) should conduct a proper investigation...and perhaps amend the Constitution (whose?) to reflect the implications.
Thereforeheretowith.
ROFL here !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
LOL So cute.
Omgosh! That is just too cute LOL, I'm roflmbo! I gotta say, ahem .....reporter Ryan Beecrest....you are good! I like them names you came up with, hehehe.
Hugs
Julie
That was funny!
Amen and LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
Now - are we sure this is a cult and not a disease like an uncurable virus? I know we get alot of wind from California and the coast and I have to tell ya - there's alot of pepto pink nuts up here too! I for one went and got this Bougainvillea today - another one to baby during the winter.
And some crazy lady with a pink gardening hat planted this clematis a few years ago.....
And the pink loving lady from across the street gave me this geranium last year.
I was wearing a hot pink tank top the day I bought these impatiens.
And now my neighbor Cindy has the disease too. She put these in last year. I get to see them from my front porch.
Just thought if a thread was about pepto-pink we needed to add some pink! :-)
Karrie:
Your neighborhood looks very picturesque! I love the mature trees. How old are the homes?
believe it or not the PINK LADY has even reached Indiana,
Doris
Too cute........I wish I had just half the imagination as our reporter, "Ryan Beecrest."
This thread made my day. So funny. I love pink, pink and more pink in everything. I think I marked one of my daughters at birth. She even has a pink stucco house with pink tile floors. LOL
Mary here ..... still on the run from the authorities. I've been secretly contacted by a high powered lawyer who is willing to defend me. He suggests a twist on the "Twinkie Defense". He'll go with the Hostess Snowball defense, since after all, they're PINK.
Gotta go, there's a security guard approaching the garden center.
On the run in Poway,
Mary
(for those of you who don't know what the Twinkie Defense is: A claim by a criminal defendant that at the time of the crime, he/she was of diminished mental capacity due to intake of too much sugar, as from eating "Twinkies," sugar-rich snacks.)

You know I heard some "inside info" about this ringleader"Kell"
I heard she is growing them on Holy ground and using the church as a cover for her plot
ROFL CC! I heard the same rumor all the way down here in Georgia!
Mary, you need to be a reporter for some newspaper...you're pretty good with the reports. Please keep us abreast of any new developments Puh-leeeeeeese! I don't want this ringleader down here in the South! lololol.
Hugs
Julie
That was some good information, CC. LOL
Ryan -- Brilliant!!!
To add to the "Penchant for Pink" maddness -- here are some pink shots from my garden today.
More pink although this picture is dim from the poor light -- we have had rain the last 4 days. I also posted some brug photos. Nothing exciting, just a plain white, but it is my first [and only blooming brug] and totally responsible for my brug addiction.
Speaking of pink...if you need a lawyer Mary, you need Elle Woods! LOL After all, pink is her color!

lol Delecie! (the link you listed).
Delecie, the homes in our neighborhood vary a little bit I think, but I know our home was built in 1904, and all the corner homes I believe were built around that same time. I've been learning that there are secret "shelves" in our home that were covered and painted. Not sure if we will ever bother looking for those. The people who retired and sold this house to Russ left alot of neat things in the basement. Old vintage records, books, even old Red Wing crocks which I've put to use for potting my plants in - I guess some of them are worth some money. They left us alot of neat antique furniture as well. Russ used to live next door and helped them take care of the place so they gave him a very good deal on the house and left alot of goodies.
Pepto is good.

FYI Red Wing Crocks

Thanks Zingy! I have an item #10 (The one with a 6 on it) and I also have this one that is not listed, that looks like there is a 3 on it. I have my gardenia in it right now and just recently took a pic so here it is. I added brightness so you could see what it has on the crock. Sorry - but this flower is not pepto pink!
Karrie,
Lovely!! Thanks for sharing!!
Marie
Do you have any idea what that other one is? I was hoping you would.
Karrie,
Here are two more links - one shows a crock sorta like yours, the other is a reference source:

OK I can go to bed now, I have read my bedtime story.
It was great, we all need too laugh.
Good night all,(actually it is morning)

Due to a big pink spot light shining on my pepto pink plot to pinkenize the world, I have had to gather up my pretty pepto pink instruments of pink corruption from my pretty pepto pink hideout and run for my life.
So I now want to bid you all a pink adieu as I flee in my pretty pepto pink car, dressed in my pretty pink outfit.
and I am taking my cult member with me!
And my pretty pepto pink chicken Pepto! A gift from co-coconspirator CC who wants to populate the world with pepto pink crested chiks.
and of course my best friend, the Pinkster. Off we go.
Kell, you're incorrigible. This is a riot.
I imagine you'll be listening to "Pink" or maybe "Pink Floyd" while you're driving your pinkmobile away.
