A garden centre was blasted in an online complaint for allowing their staff to 'smoke cannabis at work' - only for the sheepish moaner to have to backtrack when the boss revealed the culprit is a 'stinky' spring plant. Urban Jungle owner Liz Browne was horrified when she spotted the Google review slamming her innocent staff for toking on the job and making them 'look like a drug den'.
After wracking her brains for what could be the source of the mystery pong at the branch in Norfolk, Liz realised that an exotic-looking perennial called Fritillaria Imperialis was the culprit. The yellow plant, native to mountainous regions in Turkey, western Iran and eastwards to Kashmir, is famous for its bell-shaped flowers.
But it's also known for its strong musky scent that has been likened to a 'fox-like' smell or cannabis - apparently sparking the misunderstanding from the unhappy shopper. The stunned 57-year-old replied to the one-star review stating that the writer is the 'first to accuse our innocent staff of taking drugs' - with the reviewer deleting it.
