I tend to share Greene's attitude with his remark: "outside garden pots should be terra cotta color, dark green or black - keeping a low profile to showcase the plants and blooms - not the pots." However, there are exceptions. I'm not real fond of how Aloe vera looks as a general rule. It's an interesting plant, but not as interesting to me as a lot of other things. However, this is an heirloom plant whose origins in the family is lost in the depths of time. When I stumbled across this glazed container on sale, the light bulb went on. It's glaze is nearly a perfect color match for healthy green growth in the summer months and the tannish brown rim is nearly an exact match for it after the stress of winter or transplanting. I usually let this freeze and replant it in the spring, so the brown gets matched a lot
. It may be the pink pots might have the perfect plant to grow in them and it never hurts to have something trailing down the side.
