Vertical Planting

Great idea, eh?

- anyone know what "ultra" is? That trailing plant she's using...?

That is a great idea! Never heard of "ultra" though!!

the ultra looks like some kind of annual daisy to me, it's kinda pretty. of course you don't have to copy her exactly with your choice of plants. just pick whatever you like. thanks for sharing, because I just bought some purple angelina, white allisym, & purple & blue lobelia yesterday. now, I know what I'm going to do with it. what a pretty idea. I'm doing it tomorrow.

aggie: you will post a picture when you finish potting them up, right?

When I go there, it says "you have reached the end of your playlist" and just shows the beginning of the video. I would like to see it but can't!

yeah, that happened to me too. but then I put it on full screen display & it played all the way thru. give that a try.
I'll try to post a pic, but it will be my first try, so, I don't know if I can do it or not. I do have some iris pics, that I want to post too. my iris are beautiful right now. most of them are blooming.

It's basically this:

OH those are as neat as the tipsy pots!!

Yep, love how colorful they are!!!

well I did try with a couple of pots, but I didn't get them watered fast enough & now the plants look all wilted. I did water them today, so maybe they will perk up soon. it's supposed to rain saturday night & then again on tuesday. but, we'll have 80 to 90 degree weather in between. so we'll see. if they do perk up, I'll try to get a picture. I've got to dead head my iris because most of them are done now. I do still have some blooming & my roses & peonies are also blooming right now.I have pink & white peonies & red & orange roses together. I did manage to finally get all my newly bought flowers in the ground yesterday. I'm going on vacation in a couple of weeks, so no more new plants till I get back. I hope the rain helps. everything is so dry now. I still need to dig up some more weeds, or rather mother nature's flowers. does anyone know if rose campion is a weed or a flower. it seems to be taking over my front yard. it resembles lambs ears but it get much taller. I bought a little 3inch pot a couple of years ago, & now it's bigger than the bishop's weed in the back yard. should I keep it or dig it up? anyone know?
