The Last Rose of Summer is a really lovely tune. There's always The Yellow Rose of Texas! I believe there's a piece (aria?) by Puccini called Chrysanthemum. The Maple Leaf Rag by Scott Joplin. Joplin also had a piece titled Chrysanthemum.

That's all I can think of off the top of my head. Sounds like fun!

I have to add "Flower Duet" from Lakme by Delibes. Incredibly beautiful. :)

I think John Denver had a tune titled Fried Green Tomatoes and I have just released a tune called Green Man. That's me singing lead, brother sings backup, me picking guitar and playing the mystery instrument (on the full version) To hear a clip of my song, go to the link below and if you want to use it I will send an Mp3 of the entire song.
Scroll down to Green Man

There's a waltz by Strauss called Roses of the South.

And don't forget that all-time favorite: The Itsy Bitsy Spider

Keep 'em coming! Eddie, your song, "Green Man", should be the national anthem for gardeners! It is great and I can really identify with it. Thanks.

On my next album I plan to include a song I wrote called "I Like My Garden Just A Little On The Trashy Side"

Jimmy Buffett's "Lone Palm" from the Fruitcakes cd. ~My garden is filled with papayas and mangos....~

I LUV Jimmy Buffett.

I can't wait for the next Eddie Rhoades' tune.

Yeah, Buffett is my favorite.

I think Eddie should make the next cd all gardening songs....

If you need a palm tree pic for your slide show, I'll be glad to post one of my palm here. It's a little different than the usual palms....

I'll bet you palm tree is one of those lighted ones. They sure are pretty.

Grateful Dead: 'Brokedown Palace' (esp for water features :))
Creedence Clearwater Revival: 'Run Through the Jungle'
Creedence Clearwater Revival: 'Have You Ever Seen the Rain'
Louis Armstrong: 'What a Wonderful World'
Fats Domino: 'Blueberry Hill' (for orchard shots??)
Jimmy Cliff: 'I Can See Clearly Now'
Theme from the movie 'Little Shop of Horrors'

These are all great. Let's see your palm, Wildflower. Is it all lit up? By the way, I am putting a little levity in my slide show. My personality kind of runs along the lines of Eddie....I ain't quite right.LOL

I'm right there with ya'll. I ain't quite right either!!!

Sorry for the poor quality of the pic. I just can't seem to get a good one of this...I've got 3 different types of clematis growing up this thing. Also, a cabernet grape vine, and a couple of other annual vines. Should be real interesting to see what it looks like in a couple of months.....

~I like my garden just a little on the trashy side....~

Wildflower, I love your palm tree!
I have been looking for some cold hardy palms. LOL
Really...I have!
If I don't find one soon, I'll buy myself a lighted one.
