That is very pretty.
Never before have so few with so much promised to take away so much from so many and then laugh their asses off as the so many with so little vote for the so few with so much.

Oh Wow, that's cool! Sometimes it's a struggle for me to keep my container plantings looking good all season. Love yours!

I have trouble with containers also. Three of my red geraniums in the front yard aren't doing well; two of them are fine. The million bells that you see here had to be pushed toward the house so they'd get an hour or two less sun. They get a lot of sun from the west.

Really beautiful. Love the colors.
The thing I really love about containers is less weeding, more flowers. :D

Really lovely display....I like the colors, too! I've only had million bells a couple of times and they never looked like that!
