My Brunnera macrophylla has survived my repot in late Fall 2015, and is now starting to make its tiny blue flowers. Hurray! This corner of my patio has been my frustration for awhile, Have tried some succulents and croton before. It is okay for awhile during the warm months. I hate it when winter arrives before and no plant is happy there. That's why I opted to repot my Brunnera macrophylla in that containe, it has been happy to be kept in shade all year round. Now it is no longer a dull winter corner! Just have to step up watering a bit when our thermal heat returns later.

Jan 4, 2016 - took this photo as I returned after being away for about a month, poor plant, I thought it is about to die: But I still see green, so left it alone, thankfully temps are cool and no hard freeze and we got some on and off rains then.

February has been relatively dry, but temps are cool to comfy warm. Just giving the plant some occasional watering as needed.

About to get some good rain this coming weekend in March, good timing, it has been so dry lately, and plant has good leaves, so it really can enjoy the rain when it comes. Took a photo of the blooms, just in case the rain does come down hard, and it becomes too much for the tiny blooms:
