One problem that I have with so many of the photos of containers in magazines and books is that they look like someone has just planted them up the week before. You don't see how the plants will compete with one another and grow and weave together. It gives you no real idea of how a combination will look long term.

I agree Danita, sometimes the containers look so nice and full, but you don't know when they were planted. It'd be nice to see some time-lapse pictures, that show the containers from start to finish, and how long they lasted before they have to be re-done.

Chris, very nice Pinterest board. I hope you don't mind that I followed it Thumbs up
