My red shrimp plants flourish in this awful summer heat and humidity and are very cold hardy here unlike the tender yellow shrimp ones, which must be brought inside in winter. Seeing these odd brick-red flowers this morning reminded me of the delicious shrimp gumbo I had last night. Shrimp is my favorite seafood and gumbo is my favorite soup so this combination is a winner for me...it doesn't get any better.
