Hi Ray...not the plant....it's a Southern thing.  Actually, it is an 
African thing, but Southerners just stole the idea.
Take a look....

I had all different colored bottles on my post and everyone loved it. 
It looked very similar to Don Dranes-the one at the top of the page.
Now, I only have a few bottles, so I have a shout-out for bottles from 
my drinking friends.
I remove labels from the bottles, but some people don't.  They also add 
a bit of sound to you garden, as well as height, and of course, they are 
good luck since they catch and trap evil spirits. <g>
