That is so pretty Bev. I see you have a large log in waiting.
My collection is building at this point and since I have to bring them in I am going to work something out so I am down to 3-4 large round succulent containers. I am looking at all the thrift stores for the perfect containers to do this and make a desert scene. Because it will be part of the decor of the Sunroom I want it to be attractive. I do not want my sunroom to look like a plant holding room for the winter.
Hetty, they did not have any tropicals that I did not have but when I got there I found some perennials and bushes 50% off and in June and July every 20 you spend they give you a dollar bonus buck. So I had enough bonus bucks to get a lot of the perennals for 90% off. I got.....
A hardy Hibiscus Kopper King for 4.00. It has beautiful purple leaves.
Heucheras for 3.00
and 2 hydrangeas for 5.00 each.
I am planting around a gazebo that I am doing. Because it is in the Septic area I cannot build a permanent structure so I am doing a metal structure that can be taken down if need arises and putting in shallow plants around the structure. Because it is such a large area people keep knocking on my door and sending me letters asking if I want to sale the land for them to build on. Wish me luck.
What I did last year had to be taken down because of the snow. I am doing a metal open roof structure this time so it can stay up this winter. I am attempting give it more presence by planting bushes around the structure vs making the structure the presence. Does that make sense.
Okay maybe if I show what I did last year that did not work.
