Chris,
Your containers are simply beautiful! What a creative mind you have for containers and sedums Big Grin
I especially like the little tubs and look forward to pics of them in the future. This is such an inspirational thread
for Container planting...

Very nice little baskets. What did you line the metal ones with?

I can't wait til they fill in either. Hopefully they'll fill in pretty quickly. I didn't line the metal tubs at all, but I lined the metal wire baskets with weed barrier cloth. Water will go right through it. I did punch holes in the bottoms of the tubs though.

Lately, I've been mixing a lot of semps and sedums with like-minded neighbors. I've had this Pony-tail palm for a while and he needed transplanting so yesterday was the day. His fronds were so long I thought I should plant him in an elevated pot and added a few echeveria for some interest...

Very cool combination!! One I never would have thought of but they look great together. You really should post that in the container database.

It's just a tad out of control right now though! Hilarious! Hilarious! Hilarious!

You know that if I was growing that Kale for eating purposes...it would never do that well! I am going to cook them though! From everything I read, the ornamental is supposed to be exactly the same as regular kale except for the color!

Janet is making more pots. Hurray! Hurray! Sorry, let me get calmed down a bit. Lovey dubby
Chris that is an awesome bowl, I love the colors and textures you used, they really complement the bowls color. Thumbs up
Kathy is there really such a thing as out of control. I find that kale container fascinating. I can't believe how much it has grown since you first replanted them. I also have heard they are tasty. Boy that Sansevieria really sets everything off beautifully. I have to say the Bromeliad and semp pot really got my attention. I find the colors mesmerizing.
Kathy I hope you have time to post them in the Container Database, and please add a link to your Cubit from your container entries. Can you do that. Anyone visiting this Cubit could really benefit from joining your Cubit. I find so many great ideas there. Thumbs up

Some of our most popular living wreaths. We don't follow any specific pattern or designs. We just plant what is available in our greenhouse.
