    You should be proud--they are truly lovely! Combining colors, textures and heights in a container takes a bit of artistry--and your containers are works of art.

    Great job...I plant them and something always dies in it and I end up replacing something. I just can't seem to get it right. I really like the lime colored plant...

    These look wonderful 2ofus. I find it hard to believe that you ever had troubles planting them in the past.

    Thank you! :-D I read a lot of articles and found that I was never putting enough plants in each basket. I still can't believe that 5 and 6 plants can survive in a 12 inch pot!

    Looking really pretty, the combinations of color and texture are great.

    LOL!! I DID love it!! First thing I thought was, "Oh! This deserves a patch!" Fantastic pots!!

    I haven't packed a pot to what I consider too full yet!
