Birthday Monkey Balls?
Ok, Marcia, you win. Best birthday surprise ever ~ mysterious creepy flower guy tapping on the glass door ~ card in handwriting i can't recognize with just a "Happy Birthday Jean. Here's to another year of fun!"... signed Marcia? But it looked strangely more like Maria? (Florists! You need better handwriting!) And then there's the flowers ~ awesomest mix of orchids, roses, moss, and.... WTF is that really awesome hairy ball? Do i have to feed it?
Sooooo that turns into an adventure calling the florist, who of course says they know nothing and got the order through the internet... but does say that those hairy green balls of awesome are... MONKEY BALLS! And then a few more back and forth emails, Marcia confirms it's her, but the florists calls her to confirm she can tell me her name, and then calls me back as Marcia emails me to say the florist called... in between all of that i shot a bunch of pictures of this incredible bundle on my desk to share with you.
I'm also currently googling Monkey Balls, which is not coming up with many things that look at all like this... anyone got a scientific name for these things for me? Enjoy the pics on the next page! And Marcia, thanks again!!! SO awesome, best way to get me to stop working and get totally giddy... hehe. THANKS!
UPDATE: Jump to pics of the opened up balls!
