Back porch and patio containers

These are some of the containers I've done for the back porch and patio this year. I always try to have a little fun with the porch ones, especially.

For some reason I've had bad luck with the fiber optic grasses this year. I've had 3 of the 6 I planted in the porch pots go dead on me. Other than that, everything else has done superbly. Now I'm just waiting for the papyrus to get about 2 feet taller and it will be perfect.

Great containers, David! I tried the fiber optic grass last year and couldn't make it happy - what growing conditions does it like? Maybe the three that died didn't have well developed root systems?

Nice plants! I put my fiber optic in the ground and it was very happy, but that was a few years ago and it's an annual.
