Kate's Patriotic Decorations

Really make her front porch dazzle!

Red, white and blue flower combinations

• Red: dianthus, dahlias, petunias, trailing calibrachoa, gerber daisies and kalanchoe
• White: nemesia,dianthus, geraniums and dusty miller
• Blue: hydrangea, lobelia, salvia

• When the U.S. Flag is displayed from a pole horizontally or at an angle from the porch, the stars should be located at the peak of the pole. The exception is when the the flag is at half-staff.



• When the flag is displayed horizontally or vertically against a wall, the stars (the union) should be at the top and to the flag's own right (or the observer's left). If displayed in a window the flag should be displayed in the same manner. The flag should never be used as bunting or draped over objects (except a casket).



• Do not allow the flag to touch the ground, shrubs, or other objects.



• The flag must be lighted when flown at night.



• When you flag is worn, torn, or otherwise should not be flown, it should be burned in a dignified manner. Contact your local scout troops or American Legion Hall for assistance. Do not throw the flag in the trash.
