True to Their Names
Fire Cracker Lily
The Fire Cracker Lily does not disappoint. Regardless how hot the sun beats on them they show up ready to bring the brightest of red.
Of course I would have this particular lily as I already had a fire cracker of a son. Kevin was born July 4th, 1968. He decided to become a part of the celebration on a great day that Carrie and I were taking Orlin’s mother to Redwood Falls to see her good friend Mrs. Conners. I am here to tell you that neither the plant nor the child show any signs of loosing their fizzle.
Just as I look forward to the plants that return to me each spring I have the same enthusiasm as I sit back and see what Kevin is going to be up to in his fairly new roll as head of his household. It’s a good thing.
