    Now I'm envisioning a plant that comes in multiple colors.. like Geramiums? or Calibrochoa?

    I have geraniums in many places around the yard and in containers. I think I will look for moss-rose and calicrochoa. Will post pictures when I plant something.
    Thanks.

    There are so many kinds of flowers that will look good in your new tub. Anything that has a shallow root system will work. Petunias, pansies, snapdragons, marigolds, and so many new flowers that I do not know the names of! Plop in a variety of plants to add interest if you like.

    Saved from the land-fill because of some creative planters here. (Has a broken off wheel and numerous cracks on the bottom.). I put a blueberry bush in it. Still needs some ground cover.

    Thank you Cherylad...I had the 2 bikes for quite a while . They were a boring green and no one noticed them so I painted them.
