Finally getting back to this thread with photos! But first, wanted to comment on everyone else's!

Stormy, love the cars :)
Wisdomskr, I've never seen the variegated Lantana - it's lovely!
ygvfjayne, very nice barrel planter. We've got a pond planter on the deck but I'd be embarassed to post a pic. It's lovely in the spring when the Bog Bean is blooming but then the tall fill in and it's boring :(
Sally, your succulent pots look great - we've still got a collection which need to be potted up with a few that look like yours, can't wait to be them planted!
Holly, your wreaths are really filling in and love the planters on the porch! The trumpet vine is spectacular, gets better every year!
RRR, love the combinations in your stacked planter!

My collection of containers on the front deck look a little pathetic this year compared to last year's. I'm way behind on getting everything potted up, like two months late!, and some of the plants really suffered from lack of water while we were away. Regardless, I potted them up anyway, fortunately just before I got sick! This is the left side of the front door. I lost the Japanese Maple over the winter that was planted in the tan square pot in the stand and just gave up and planted a variegated Plectranthus in it this year. The Begonia on the bottom is the one I picked up while in Maine. Trying another Japanese Maple in a taller container this year and added few other plants including a really nice Coleus (Lancelot) I picked up at the Lewis Ginter sale, way back in May! Also bumped up the Norfolk Pine to a larger container - when we returned home the smaller pot had blown over and almost snapped two years of growth!
