I had no luck with Asiatic lilies in containers, but at least they came up and I was able to put them in the ground where they lived to grow and flower. I saw some coming up today and remembered them..."oh, yeah, that's supposed to be a nice plant.." lol we'll see.
Last night I spent hours reading old threads about containers, painting containers (rcn's thread), and staging containers, which I have yet to do this year so they look like something besides a bunch of pots. I did buy some huge pots at ollie's yesterday but I'm waiting for the agway to call and tell me the "turface" stuff I ordered is in. I want to make sure the drainage is good, I hate having to re-pot large plants any more than I have to.

So, just a sneak peek picture so far, Cannas 'Tropicanna' and 'Praetoria', ornamental sweet potatoes and 'Black Pearl' peppers and scraps of sedums here and there. We need some sunlight !
