Happy birds that come to this water station as it has been decorated with Supertunia Persimmon petunia making its debut in 2023.
Supertunia Persimmon sports a glowing yellow throat that echoes this partnership that includes Superbells Yellow Improved calibrachoa.

To me, this is the prettiest petunia I have ever grown. It is so pretty that if it only lasted a month, I would say I can hardly wait until next year. But it is a Supertunia and therefore will perform as suggested, a super petunia. The name of this new variety is Supertunia Persimmon.

The end of June shows Heart to Heart Bottle leaves are huge giving a hand painted look echoing the color of Luminary Sunset Coral tall garden Phlox.
Luminary Sunset Coral has turned The Garden Guy into a full-blown phlox fanatic. This rousing color would probably remind you of some electrifying lipstick or fingernail polish, a most rare color in the plant world.
“Here’s the universal truth: the dive is essentially a conversation that has been going on for a long time. It’s going to go on after you leave... but the bar itself is an ongoing conversation,” said author Anthony Head about the timelessness of dive bars like San Marcos’ own Showdown, pictured above.

It’s 11:30 a.m. on a Wednesday, and a handful of regulars cluster together at the bar of Showdown, grabbing beers and maybe some lunch while “Mission Impossible” plays soundlessly on the TV.

What's better than crispy golden fried catfish with killer hush puppies? Maybe a perfectly prepared fried oyster poboy served on a soft pillowy white bun?
