Bev those photos were not a repeat for me. I love all of them.You have such a knack for arranging.
Marilyn I agree with the rest here, that first photo looks great, just to many big rocks. And each variety looks very different from all the rest. That bowl will be beautiful once it fills in with semps. Let them fill their little home to the rim.
With the second photo, have you stuck your finger way down into the soil to see how wet/dry it is? With the photo so fuzzy it's hard to tell what is going on. Are all the plants struggling? And how long have they been in the container?
I find the metal baskets all the time at Goodwill.
You need to make the trip Marilyn, and remember, think outside the box.

And offer to pay your neighbor to drill them. It doesn't take any time at all to drill them. Or look for ones that don't need drilling, like the metal basket.
