Contrary to popular belief, a guy DOES ask for directions when lost and a guy DOES ask what something is when he doesn't know. (It just seems that we're almost never lost and know just about everything, ... so women get annoyed.)

What is this? Every year this plant grows back in one corner of my property and puts out several of these vivid and huge red blooms. Frankly, I’ve never seen anything like it before, but I must admit that the leaves somewhat resemble the leaves of the marijuana plant. (Not that I would know about such things of course! Someone must have told me. Yeah. That’s right. Someone told me they look like that.) I’m stumped, … no one seems to know what this thing is, … other than some folks say it’s a strange variety of Mary Jane. Sooooo, … if you know what it is, please send me a note!
