SUMMARY: Flowers may be the most admired part of plants, but seed pods are just as beautiful and important. Flowers attract pollinators to help with reproduction, but seeds are the ultimate goal. Seed pods can aid in plant identification long after flowers have disappeared, and they can also be used in flower arrangements or left in a winter garden to feed birds. Native grasses and flowering plants with seed pods are recommended for bird-friendly yards. Some seed pods have unique mechanisms for dispersing seeds, such as explosive openings or releasing seeds during rain or wind. Take the time to appreciate the beauty of seed pods in your garden or on nature trails.

SUMMARY: Pascagoula residents are celebrating the return of the beloved Orange Slush to Edd's, an iconic drive-in eatery. Edd's, founded in 1953, had to discontinue the Orange Slush in 2020 due to the manufacturer stopping its production. After extensive efforts, Edd's, led by Jennifer Brimm, found a suitable replacement through taste tests with familiar locals, including the author. Now, with positive feedback and preparations in place, the Orange Slush is back for summer. Edd's, a community staple known for its burgers, fries, and a nostalgic gathering spot, has restored a treasured favorite for locals and returning expatriates alike.
