I love traditions and fun parties. For us, 4th of July is both.
Everyone drove in from a different place at a different time, and when everyone finally got here, we numbered 16.
Even our clothes have fun.
One of the guests was my ex-daughter-in-law Kristy. Her sandbox wedding to Jesse ended in 2nd grade when Jesse decided he was too young to be tied down. Anyway, one of Kristy’s hobbies is photography, and she took all the plant pictures for this post. We also did this in 2011, and you can read it here. I think it’s interesting to see what captures someone else’s eye, and she chose these pictures as her favorites.
Coneflower (Echinacea ‘Coral Reef’)
This coneflower (Echinacea ‘Coral Reef’) is my favorite because it evokes such fond memories. Last Halloween Dale and I went to a ‘Hooker and Pimp’ party. Of course I dressed as a Plant Ho. It was an awesome costume. Inspired by Lady Gaga, I had flowers exploding from all my girlE parts. And this flower was part of my volcanic vagina. I called the arrangement my va-jay-jay bo-kay-kay.
I would show you pictures, but I’m doing important work, www.SaveSmithLake.com and can’t afford to be any more ridiculous than I already am. Well maybe just one tiny picture.
Dan, president of Terra Nova Nurseries, gave me this plant in spring of 2012, and it’s doing really well.

Mandevilla
Gloriosa lily (Gloriosa superba ‘Rothschildiana’)
Kristy picked some very nice plants to show you, and I recommend all of them. I am legally obligated to tell you that along with the Echinacea, I also got that rose Oso Easy Cherry Pie for free. I also want to mention that the shasta daisy needs a lot of deadheading, and unless you live in zone 9, you’ll need to lift the gloriosa lily in the fall.
If you want to know more about the gloriosa lily (Gloriosa superba ‘Rothschildiana’), you should subscribe to Alabama Gardener Magazine and read my article in the September issue.
Thanks for the pretty pictures Kristy! I’ll see you next year.
