Hi ,you-all.
So sorry for the delay in replying.

revclaus,
To plant youg plants I consider their blooming periods, heights, and colors. Then I choose the containers that would fit them.
Trying new ones is,I think,a sort of a game of chance,though.
Quite a few don't turn out as expected.

gemini_sage,
Just like you I'm so fond of new plants.LOL So I sow new seeds every year. In their first year I plant them separately and try to learn the way they grow and bloom.
As I wrote to revcaus, I've met with lots of failures and disappointments all right.

pirl,
Of course I get inspiration from lots of sources. What I try to do is not just to imitate them but to garnish them a bit to my taste.
Recently I got an excellent idea from the thread jlp222 started and the Illoquin's photo.
