Raise your hand if you have a forgotten large pot of plants somewhere that you never really see untill you stub your toe on it and it's been around for a couple of years? Well I stubbed my toe on one this morning. Inside are 4 red glads, 3 cactus, a rose bush and a weed that is about 6 feet tall and full of buds. This pot has been in the same place three years running. It started out as a containered climbing yellow rose. Some glad bulbs got added around it a year later, then the following year I put 3 cactus in pots in there because the rose wasn't doing very well and I was sick of it. So far the cactus managed to survive zone 8 and numerous hard freezes and the glads and roses bloom. I'm waiting for the cactus to flower one of these years.

Actually, its My Zone Project .. I'm testing weather roses, glads, cactus and a giant weed can coexist together peacfully in a communal pot in zone 8. :-)
