Well, my containers are nothing to brag about, because I don't have many in permanent containers yet. Still waiting to see more growth.



I planted seeds in the container with these plants. There are little seedlings that aren't visible, but will make this planter more interesting soon. Pink is my favorite color and these are the only pink plants I have to enjoy at this time.

I have to disagree. That is lovely. foliage/flowers to match container.

@CDsSister, Thanks! I am glad you like it. I haven't even had a chance to look up the one on the right. I have a feeling it will want a bigger pot or a place in the garden soon. I like keeping it on the porch so nothing happens to it and I pass it enough that it makes me smile. I like to spoil these plants without hovering so much that I count all the new leaves anxiously. When the seedlings get big enough, I will probably transplant the entire planter as one to their new location or new pot. I'm thinking it will have to be a very big pot so I don't have to worry about it walking off.

Just keep the coloration and it will be wonderful I am sure. Could you paint/plant into one of your cement cloth ones?

Yes. They will definitely be planted in one of my cement cloth planters when they are done curing and being painted. But I haven't decided whether they will go in any of the cement cloth ones already in progress. If that pentas gets as big as I suspect, the pots I've made so far will be too small too quickly. I have to look up what the pentas needs while I am recuperating. If nothing else, I'll have a game plan for the next batch of cement cloth planters I'll start making.

Ckat, Really looking forward to seeing your planters when you get them finished.
Just love your Avatar. Your pup looks a lot like mine in the picture.

I'm looking forward to seeing them as well.

Songs,, those are great containers. Love the red coleus in the top photo

Thanks, Jo Ann.

Love your containers and your floors are cleaner then mine!

lol. I must have just vacuumed. Three cats in and out. Floors are always questionable.

Oh...coleus day...they are so pretty..I had one last year that never flowered..it was great
I've got one in a container with a volunteer yellow pear tomato a brug and assorted friends....at the edge of the pond

The deck this morning.


















Purple Duckfoot coleus and Fiesta Caladium. Give Duckfoot awhule to mature and achieve color. I wanted to toss this coleus until a month ago.

Just love the Iris and coleus combo.

Holly thats a glad. Abyssinian glad. I def.will plant more of those next year.

I thought it was a different looking iris. Is there only one bloom on the stalk? I don't see the column on blooms that I am use to seeing with Glads.

This is the glad

JoAnne your pots are always so pretty. Is your glad fragrant. I have grown that one for years. It comes back every year because I bring the pot inside. I grow it in my canna pots.

I had them years ago and they were fragrant the ones I have now are not fragrant. I do not know what happened. I did buy them at the dollar store maybe that is the problem.
