Candy Corn Plant



Check out the Candy Corn plant (Manettia luteorubra,) sometimes called a firecracker vine, is native to Brazil, Paraguay and Uruguay.



It is a rapidly growing vine that does well in the summer and fall in the LipsYard garden.



Kids love candy corn (and so do I.)



Kid's parents love to have health care coverage for their tots. Unfortunately, President Bush doesn't think that's a good idea, as he vetoed a bipartisan bill that would have expanded health coverage for poor children. He thinks it's too expensive. The war in Iraq isn't?


To override Bush's veto, supporters need to convince about 15 more House Republicans to vote for the reauthorization of the Children's Health Insurance Program, known as CHIP.
