Great job in keeping them looking good too. Thumbs up Pia, how cold does your winter get? Do I see cyclamen and Calla lily in your photos?

Glad you liked that, Tiffany! Obviously your "fugly" (as you call them) pots are pretty ingenious, since someone figured out a way to market them nodding

TY but I can't take credit. I realized after starting my holes-in-the-sides thing that there were already hanging pots with round holes in the sides. I like the mesh design better.

Thank You! for sharing Ibis and Tifanny your combo looks pretty good. I think a little trimming this spring and you have a great looking basket. Is that a plumeria stick that I see in one of your baskets?

TY! Yes you do. I'm going to leave the top one together this summer to dangle and spin in the breeze. Just put that together in November. The bottom pic pot is getting redone. That's been together since 2011 or 12.

Carole, what an wonderful collection of containers. That is such a happy, healthy colony of sempervivum.
And look at the huge seed pods on this plant. What is it?

I don't think they smell that bad but they do have a somewhat funky odor. It can attract flies but that's what pollinates the flowers.
