WOW! Tamara, they look great!

I think they all look beautiful, but I really like #3 and also your Bulb container. Is that "Diamond Frost" that you used in Container #3? I just bought a bunch of that today...it's so pretty.

I have a bunch of plants to put into containers tomorrow. I started container gardening about 6 months ago and I am so addicted it's crazy! Just love them though, as they can be changed often, are virtually weed free and are fairly low maintenance. Also with the heat here in Fla., it's not easy keeping something lush that's planted in the ground. I'm thinking that I might be reaching my quota though. I started out with 3 and tonight I counted the planters I have on my lanai - I'll be up to 45 with these new ones!!!

I found 3 beautiful tall planters at Sams today and will be filling them with elephant ear (focal), diamond frost, Angelonia, and this cool plant called Guara. I'm also being lazy and am going to try that Miracle-Gro moisture control potting soil for these.

Good luck with your containers...they are looking great. Please post some pics of their progress.
