If you somehow happened to be inside my head while I've been planning out and preparing next spring's garden, you might have heard something like this:

"No, idiot, you are NOT buying the Scarlet Pimpernel tulips just because they're named after the Scarlet Pimpernel. You don't even like the things. They're weird-looking."

"Okay, as long as I can buy the Fidelio tulips."

"They're just yellow and red tulips. You can buy yellow and red tulips anywhere that are cheaper than that."

"Yeah, but are they named after Beethoven's only opera?"

"All right. Fine. You can buy the Fidelio tulips. As long as you don't buy the Jimmy tulips just because they're called Jimmy. They're orangey-red, and you wanted plain red. And no, they're not named after Jimmy Stewart."

"Are you sure?"

"SHUT UP AND BUY THE PLAIN RED TULIPS ALREADY."

And that was even before I found the Pickwick crocuses.
