Here's my container planting that I squeezed into an outdoor shower (why the previous owner installed an outdoor shower is beyond me). I think outdoor showers should be in places like Hawaii but there it was all cement and brick and located in pretty shady area. So I convinced hubby to lug this trough home from a feed store and planted these shade plants that were baking in pots in the sunny place in the patio.

The amount of dirt to fill this baby was going to be too much (in volume and shoveling) so I packed pieces of those large hard styrofoam that one gets from buying electronics (and that can't be
carried-away recycled) into bottom of the trough and fillled dirt from that height.
Now when I look out my bathroom door with glass, I can see my trough that's filled with several types of ferns, huecheras, hellebore, and a striped leaf viney plant that i dont know the name of. Can anybody Identify it for me? It's is plant that is overhanging the trough
