I added a few little accent plants - Copper plant, coleus and some really cute green accent plant...Those palms were kind of hard to work with though as they are very thorny!
What is your most unusual container
I also found this really cute Mexican pot hidden in the Lizard Lounge and replanted it with flowers/plants that are all the colors of the pot! Orange Calibrachoa, Persian shield, Lobelia and some really nice fuzzy green plant that looks like lambs ears...
The one in front I planted a couple of weeks ago - I love the Purple Oxalis.
I'm sitting here filthy and need to be at a birthday party for my friend Tony's birthday at 6! Arrrrrrgggh!
He's a gardener and I thought I would make him a head! Used the burros tail with some other succulent. He's bald, so I'm going to stick a little note on the planter "Tony with Hair". Kind of looks like him too as he used to be a boxer and has a flattened nose like the head! hahahaha. I think he'll get a kick out of it!
I better get going! Have a great nite all.

(excuse the dirt! Tomorrows another day!)
all is marvelous. I adore the "in your face" red pots.
Oh, I LOVE the boxer's head! Maybe he should have some red foliage dripping down his face like blood LOL
It's warm enough to at least have spent the day re-tying my espaliers, but in the spirit of this thread, here's my favorite Pelargonium pot from last summer, along with a Sedum in the shell pot:
Check out the fantastic planter face, fishknees did on the Garden Art forum, I just love it!

I love lobelia in this hand made sculpture from a friend.
That is just beautiful! ge1836
my favorite planter...an old granitware hot water tub.
WOW! What a patriotic container! Gorgeous!
There couldn't be a more lovely container to celebrate the 4th of July!
Happy 4th to all!
love it.... what a pretty tub
Had to add this one to the group, being a golfer and all....tee hee.
As I mentioned in a previous post to this thread, I love using heads for containers. It is not much of a stretch (lol) to see that reference's tie in to the Halloween holiday.
Here's another head planter for the holiday.
Do I win?
where did you get that planter?????? it's great!!!!
Grocery store seasonal junk...one of three kinds
hope you bought the other two glasses... I love it!
What a HOOT
lol sorry about the punn
Money is tight, so I only bought the one. May go back today to see if the others are discounted. I was originally looking for a Halloween scull that would work as a planter, but found nothing suitable that was cheep enough. I too liked the results with this one though.
Do I win the contest for most unusual??
I will vote for that!
