Fred’s Favorites

I met Fred, the only man to ever crash girls’ weekend, last spring at Melinda’s house, and we developed a very special connection. I was so glad to see him again.

1He came with Melinda and Christie to my fifth and final girls’ weekend of 2013. It was great getting to know him a little better.

He has a surprisingly sensitive side, and enjoyed standing in the butterfly bush for hours. – I mentioned before about how much he likes to watch.

34He’d never seen a toad lily flower, and although he wanted to examine it, he just couldn’t keep his eyes off me. Quite frankly, it was a bit embarrassing and made me giggle like a schoolgirl.

The flirting continued as he joked around next to this grill I planted with the coleus ‘Gay’s Delight’,

“Come over here baby, and let me toast your buns.”

Therefore, fatigue becomes one of viagra price canada official pharmacy shop the major symptoms of this disorder which can be overcome easily. 56And he was so funny. He went over to take a closer look at this pot. The large white snakeroot (Eupatorium rugosum ‘Chocolate’) is just starting to bloom. I used a dark coleus for contrast, and the chartreuse coral bells (Heuchera) and Japanese forest grass. At first I thought he was trying to hide behind the grass. – All that staring had him a bit stiff. – But right after I snapped this picture, he jumped out and yelled, “That grass is trying to tickle my pickle.” – Well maybe you had to be there. It was hysterical.

7He enjoyed the view from the starlight lounge and told me how important it is that we keep fighting to save this amazing land as part of Forever Wild. Fred said, “Don’t pay any attention to those snarly bitches that think you are just doing this to save your view. This magnificent view belongs to everyone who uses the lake, and it most definitely belongs to the school children for whose benefit the land was set aside. Besides, who else is going to fight for this land if not the person who has lived next to it for over 20 years and loves it?” Then he kissed my forehead, told me I was doing a good job and promised to sign the petition at www.SaveSmithLake.com to show his support.

So what were Fred’s top three favorite plants?

Pennisetum 'Princess Caroline'

Everyone loves this Pennisetum ‘Princess Caroline’.

Hibiscus

Fred’s a big, bold man, and he appreciated the hibiscus for sharing the same qualities.

Elephant ear (Colocasia fallax 'Silver Dollar')I was surprised by his final choice. It was a dwarf elephant ear (Colocasia fallax ‘Silver Dollar’) that I bought 5 years ago from Plant Delights Nursery. If you go back to the first picture in this post, it’s in the lower left corner. Jennifer loved it too and said the rain drops looked like diamonds. Fred said, “Good friends are life’s true diamonds and the only rocks you need.” I hope you have some great friends, and I hope Fred comes back next year.

    Peggy my dear – I’m pretty sure he was looking at me when you were not around. He may be stiff as cardboard but he’s not dead. (the fact that he has never been alive is irrelevant)

    I got such a good chuckle out of this stumbling upon it only cause I was searching Coleus “Gay’s Delight”. Too funny, my dear, you made me laugh in the midst of working all day on a plant related presentations. Good one! Cathy T
