In sunny Larkspur, California, June’s Garden was a local treasure. Her towering larkspurs, with their dazzling indigo blooms, enchanted passersby. Tourists often asked, “Do they thrive here because of the town’s name?”
One day, a councilman proposed adopting her larkspurs as the town’s symbol. Thrilled, June brought her finest bouquet to the meeting.
As the Mayor bent to pluck a flower, a gust of wind sent petals flying into his face. He sneezed so hard he toppled into a muddy puddle. Amid the chaos, June sighed, “We should add a sign: Larkspur’s larkspurs dislike petal harassment.”
I never knew what a Larkspur was, neither did I know that a town in the US and another in Canada were named Larkspurs. Well, now I know.
