the bush that wouldn't die...

you must know that this bush was probably the ugliest thing i had planted in my yard. i admit, when it would bloom, for about 3 days i liked it. other than that, it was big and overgrown. and we won't mention the time the hub took half of it off when mowing around it. (opps, i just mentioned it).
but, in a weak, (stupid) moment, we garden-taped it back together.
last year, at the end of the season, i hacked the crap out of it.
i mean i REALLY 'went to town' on it thinking that in the spring, the hub would come and dig it's sorry carcase out to the burn pile.
you can imagine my surprise when i went out there last week and saw flowers!
2 pretty little blooms.
amazing shade of pink.
so pretty.
what? are you kidding me??
now what am i going to do???
i can't burn it now. that would be mean.
but....
i would be willing to donate it.
come and get it. it may look good in your yard.
or on your burn pile??

If you can't bring yourself to chopping it down, why don't you let your boys do it? I'm sure they have PLENTY of great ideas of how to get rid of it. My suggestion? First hide the blowtorch :)
