Buggles, Puggles, Muggles...You Know.

Customer: I'm looking for a plant...I think it's called buggle-something?

Me: Bugle? Like bugleweed?

C: No, I don't think so. It has chocolate in the name. It has dark leaves.

M: Bugleweed has purplish leaves and there's a variety called 'Chocolate Chip.' It's a groundcover.

C: No, this is really big. It has lots of leaves shaped like this (makes the shape of a hosta with his hands), and then it has a flower spike of lavender flowers.

M: I can't think of anything with hosta leaves that--

C: --It doesn't look anything like a hosta! It has lacy leaves.

M: Oh. Right. Sounds more like an Actea to me.

C: No, it's definitely starts with buggle-something.

M: How about you google it with your iPhone?

C: ...Oh my god, that's it. ...BUGBANE!

Is that a Beluga Relative?

Customer: I'm looking for this plant.

(Holds out piece of paper, upon which is written "PHLGA")

Me: Uh, that's a lot of consonants.

C: It's pronounced "FLOO-GAH," I think.

M: I've never heard of it. Is it a shrub?

C: Sort of. I call it the Cousin It plant, cause it looks like Cousin It.

M: Okayyy... (Espies fellow employee.) Hey ____, can you think of a shrub that looks like Cousin It?

C: I have the name written down here.

Employee: Ful...guh?

C: It's also called a whipcord.
