Candy, those are lovely potted combinations. Do you use soil polymers in your potting mix? I used to do long, rectangular "rail riders" year crammed with mixed annuals for our entry deck every . No time for that now
plus they rotted and DH hasn't quite got around to building me new ones.
Charleen I love your long, low dog! Looks like he's posing just so... I have to figure out what kind of bog plants might work out here in part shade and then how to construct it. I looked on the linked thread you posted elsewhere and didn't recognize one plant.
Sun has finally emerged in the NW and I'm getting out to enjoy every minute of it!
