MaryE, you are exactly right, it is an upside-down hanging wire basket. I do indeed use them as plant supports although I have switched to the green wire ones as being slightly less obtrusive-looking!

The one in the photo is over a young euphorbia as our soil is so rich some plants just flop over, and I wanted to make sure this one gets a little help. Most recently I have been using them for freesias as I've noticed they tend to definitely 'lean' over as they come up.

I can't believe how expensive plant support hoops are in the catalogs, although I covet those v-shaped tomato ladders sold in the Gardeners Supply catalog!

Here's a photo that shows even more of the flowers. Kindly excuse the red concrete mushroom, it's a family joke that is going to be hidden in the backyard as soon as my husband gets off sick leave!
