The companion is about to bloom.
Cropper do your worst.
YEP sorry folks this planter also sports million bells
Coleus Big Red
Silver falls
the first bloomong canna pot has
Lobelia(nearly spent,i don't like it after june) Coleus Big Red and million bells
Yes, I know what you mean. Lobelia has to be in the shade and cool and lucky to look good in July and August! (I can't do it but I've seen it done.)
I just love lobelia but don't have any luck planting it in the ground.
Containers is what works for me, alas what I thought was going to be shady or part shad on the deck ,gets lots of sun until 3:00 The Cannas in the front get full sun I should have known beter
New house ,won't make that mistake again.
Oh wow, I don’t know how I missed this one. Everybody’s containers look fantastic.
Just gorgeous everyone! Everything is blooming so beautifully!
My newest favorite container with Cannas
coleus Big Red
Silver falls
Million Bells
sorry about the values, its rainy today, just cant stop lookin at the cannas.
very nice containers - i am a bit lazy when it comes to these - just go with petunias and keep them watered.
I love to compose and tubs are easy on the knees.
Your Forte' is your beautiful landscape of JM's,not to mention the wall.
love that canna Ge... the colors are fantastic
after i posted my last one... I thought these monkey flowers would look great with that canna... lower left on the photo

My fanciest container project to date:
picotee cosmos
pink gazania
MG "Bright Eyed Girl" (yet to bloom)
dahlia "Starsister Red + White" (really magenta and white)
in a cool blue and turquoise Wal Mart drink tub.
i like it. The picture is poor - sorry.
nice Amy
I planted cosmos with other things too. The ones in the ground are 1/4 the size of the one in the container which must have hit a nice patch of compost.
My cosmos (in a container) are blooming! ^_^
They can surprise you sometimes
Canna containers continue to thrill.
Wishbone plant and Verbina plus Canna "Picasso"

these are great fun to put together.
Snaps and neuguinnies

Cannas and verbina and wishbone plant ooops you saw that

Yep Coleus "Watermelon" a must for next year,
Wandering Jew
Neuguinis and Lobelia almost bloomed out.
very nice... are they trailing snaps or just going crazy?
Flopping snaps.I guess July is the peak for growth.
Everything is getting out of control
floppy and they still look great
