These are two planters of mine in the back yard. We are zone 7b. I am prepping these for winter flowers. I have done the pansy route. They are okay, but the rabbits eat them up and, frankly, I am a little tired of them.

There are daffodil bulbs underneath - some Jewish paperwhites, etc. that may come up again.

I was going to do some cyclamens (I love them) but they are expensive. Enzo (the black Lab) likes to dig them up. Those are the only flowers he messes with. Kinda odd.

These flowers in the picture come up this weekend or next. Any suggestions on replacements for the winter?

- I also have a wall planter that gets no light in the winter that I would like to put something attractive.

Thanks
