More first attempts, thanks to this forum...
The lower container is red celosia w/ a yellow petunia (I think?), a red nasturtium and a yellow one, and (not flowering yet) canary-bird vine. The top one's of course petunias: a variety of old-fashioned, wave, and madness. I'm going to axe one of the nastutium.

Thanks! I feel like a pre-schooler playing with the big kid crayons (the names of which I can't read.)Full frontal. Front right is a sacred jasmine... not gorgeous but smells divine. On the left are combinations of petunias and yellow somethings with rose and skeleton geraniums (for scent and bug control).
'Scuze the hose. :)

Front walk. These are some kind of pale pink supertunia or petunia with verbena "quartz magenta." The verbena has been pretty wimpy, and I won't use this one again. Next time I'll use a flower that contrasts more with the pot: don't like this boring monochromatic look.
The porch looks divine, especially the gorgeous gingerbread work! Great plants.
Love your porch stuff! I agree with you on the monochromatic look. I planted three window boxes with cherry pink superbells, and it's too flat for me. Next year I'll mix it up.
