Oh, and my orchid lillies would probably be blooming now, too, if Wade hadn't accidently chopped off the blossoms with the weed whacker!

Okay, I was so distraught about the weed whacker thing that I gave the wrong name of my plant. It was a peacock orchid that Wade whacked. This year was going to be the first time it bloomed, too. But, Wade chopped off those buds before I ever got to see them in bloom!

I totally did not believe that was a real song. So, I did a really quick internet search, and lo and behold, I found the words. Is this the song you're talking about. I have never ever heard of it before!!!
May the Bird Of Paradise Fly Up Your Nose
Artist: Little Jimmy Dickens (peak Billboard position # 1 in 1965)
Words and Music by Neal Merritt
One fine day as I was a-walkin' down the street
Spied a beggar man with rags upon his feet
Took a penny from my pocket
In his tin cup I did drop it
I heard him say as I made my retreat
CHORUS
"May the bird of paradise fly up your nose"
"May an elephant caress you with his toes"
"May your wife be plagued with runners in her hose"
"May the bird of paradise fly up your nose"
The laundry man is really on his toes
Found a hundred-dollar bill among my clothes
When he called me I came a-runnin'
Gave him back his dime for phonin'
I heard him sayin' as I turned to go
CHORUS
I was way behind one day to catch the train
Taxi driver said "We'll make it just the same"
The speed cop made it with us
And as he wrote out the ticket
I stood by politely a-waitin' for my change
CHORUS

Probably, I think Ihave heard it as far back as I can possibly remember.As a 3 or 4 year old.My Dad used to sing it all the time to us and tickle our faces with the flowers.

Honestly when I heard you guys call the one in the front yard in Fl. a B. of P. I never new what you were talking about and thought you didn't know either cause I surely did not see one. hahaha.
