I know these hostas will not be eaten. <br />Jan- What a nice honor, thank you so much for this award.<br />I am not sure that being a Master Gardener is why I have this kind of containers. There are some things to think about when putting a container together... one school of thought is- thrill, fill, spill. I also try to remember to do something tall, and try to find something that is not relying on just bloom color for the punch of color. Fine Gardening has container contests and I have looked at a number of them to see what appeals to me. The pink container was fun to put together-- got the Ti plant, then looked for plants that had similar colors in it. In the containers I try to stay to just a few colors. <br />wow- I didn't want to sound preach-y. Just have fun with it!Janet, The Queen of Seafordhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07876204203323750245noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6119628314111837184.post-18772083951444300802009-04-30T00:03:00.000-04:002009-04-30T00:03:00.000-04:00Janet, I was here earlier today and 'drooled' over...Janet, I was here earlier today and 'drooled' over your container's and forgot to leave a message! I've had them in my mind all day...because I have a bunch of containers I want to plant but am stumped as to how to go about it! You're a master gardener, so you have some background knowledge...I have NONE! I love the choices you've made, and each year it's just a little different. All of them are so pretty though. <br /><br />I also want to ask you to visit my blog and go down to the bottom, so you can pick up a friendship award from me. It is the first one I ever got so it's special to me...the one in (Spanish, I think)...it means something special re: friendships. SO, please copy and paste it-I would really love you to have it!<br /><br />JanJanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12844013803699228989noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6119628314111837184.post-1994786471421081082009-04-29T23:16:00.000-04:002009-04-29T23:16:00.000-04:00Very very pretty!
