Letter: Possible source for Purple Cherokee

Tamara L Andrew writes:
To Jill Petrey: Betty Coomer on Frankum Rd did have Purple Cherokee and others last week. She may still have some. She's super cheap too! Her cell is 270-805-1626. In case you don't know where Frankum Road is, it's at the top of the hill on the right just past the Meat packing sign on 704. --Tamara

Kentucky Color - A Northern Catalpa flowering in Columbia

By Billy Joe Fudge

Middle to late May here in the Great Wooded South is flowering time for Northern Catalpa. This three trunked specimen is, of course, standing tall and proud beside Begley Chapel, high up on Lindsey Hill.

There are several more Northern Catalpa scattered around the Columbia area and someone had much forethought to make Northern Catalpa the major focal point in the landscape of our Best Western setting up on Bomar Heights Hill across from Sonic. I suggest a drive by, to observe these beautiful flowers and quasi-heart shaped leaves.

It is often said, "there is no place so large or no place so small that one cannot find God" and I suggest a close look at the artistic qualities of Catalpa flowers might very well give credence to the latter.
