I bet you thought this post would be a flower! Not this time....here's a pink flamingo.
One of my favorite Southern gardeners is Felder Rushing. This pink flamingo pic is from his website. He has lots of flamingos in his pictures of his gardens.
Here is a garden complete with flamingos that he grows in the back of his pick up truck!
His website is Welcome to Felder Rushing,net
If you have time, his radio shows are lots of fun to listen to. They are available on the Mississippi Public Broadcasting Site. Even if you can't listen to the broadcasts, you will enjoy the pictures that go with each broadcast if you love gardening! He has some very unique garden art!
Thanks to Beverly at How Sweet the Sound for hosting Pink Saturday. Please click on her link for more pink posts.

Diane, I loved this post about Felder. He is truly one of a kind and his radio show is very entertaining, especially the ones he and "Dr. Dirt" did together.
His talent is excelled only by his imagination ... Gotta love that pickup truck garden!
How cute is that. Now that is one way to make an old pickup look better lol. I wonder what Jeff Foxworthy would have to say about that. lol. I loved it!
What a lovely idea...a garden planted in the back of a pick-up truck...with flamingos.
Such imagination!
Happy PINKness day!

What a fun pink post. I just so happen to love flamingos, and I wonder why my garden is missing one.

I love the truck garden! I have enough trouble getting things to grow in the ground, and some people can grow things anywhere! I envy them! I like the *pink* flamingos, nice touch!

I wish I could have done this project with my old little truck - it was hard to part with it. And I adore flamingos. Hope you have a lovely pink day.

Wow, a garden in a pickup truck! Does he actually drive it around? Guess I better check out his site and find out for myself. Love your blog!
Hi Diane...I had never heard of Felder Rushing, but the pickup garden was enough to get me interested in peeking at his website...I LOVED the one & only FAQ he had posted, because that is the one question I would have asked him...LOL.. truly, a one of a kind guy. Thanks for sharing him...

Wow, I didn't know about him. I'll check him out. I love the pick-up truck as a planter! Too cute. There are some places in my neighborhood that would benefit from that!
Happy Pink Saturday!

Well if you have an old pickup junking up the yard....why not turn it into a garden lol. How clever!
Your pink flamingos look classic amongst your fall flowers. Happy Pink Saturday, Karen
Thanks for posting the pink flamingoes. It just wouldn't be Pink Saturday without them. I had never heard of Felder, so I had to go to his website and check him out. Man, his porch is beautiful with that green roof. I found the list of all the past radio shows, so I can use him as a resource now. What a guy! Take care.
What a lovely idea,How cute is that! Happy PINKness day!
