Thanks for the pictorial inspiration for those of us who are waiting for frosts to end
so we can plant our containers. I like your idea that there are no rules---just plant what we like.
Hopefully this coming week.

I really like the pics, Lee Anne! Those alone are an inspiration. And you've just reminded me I have a hollow log I refused to burn in the wood stove all winter; I kept thinking I'd rather stick a plant in it so will do that this weekend.

Best!

Finally got my "planter" planted.

A baby Caladium humboltii variegata in the top and the knot hole on the side needed something so I stuck in a coleus since both plants love shade.

I'll post again as the Caladium gains in size. It's a cute little thing right now, eh?
