Wonderful, a thread for containers and I haven't even got mine planted yet! Arrived home from Maine on Monday night and trying to play catch up yesterday :( A few of the plants that were destined for containers took a hit - friend who was watering for us thought they were okay for water on Sunday and they were fried when we arrived home later in the day on Monday :( I did get the living plants grouped together yesterday and got the soil ready so hopefully I'll get them planted today and will have pics to share tomorrow. This is one of the hanging planters I made up for my daughter while I was in Maine. Planted two to hang on the front porch but she wasn't sure she liked the "look" - thought they looked "messy" hanging from the porch! So I took them down and placed them on the front steps and will let her decide where they eventually live. LOL Kept searching for Begonia 'Bonfire' and finally found it at a small garden center only 5 min away! The poor things needed to be rescued, they were in a house where the plants seriously needed watering! Combined with white New Guinea Impatiens to make the color of the Bonfire blooms pop.
