I've tried twice to take a good picture of this one - tough because of the lighting. This is my 'Fire' themed container. Two different Alternantheras planted on either side suffered as well as the Begonia 'Bonfire' planted in the front. I'm hoping they'll respond to finally being planted in good soil and fertilized and will trail over the edges. Tough to see but there's Hardy Jasmine (lacy gold foliage) which will hopefully climb the vertical iron "tripod" in the center of the dark Canna. The plant on the right in the white container used to be over 4' high but developed serious bug problems while overwintering inside and had to be cut way back. A new pot, soil and fertilizer should bring it back to life!
