I was give a gift certificate from the ladies at the guard shack and a pot of Milk and Wine lily bulbs with a package of climbing mixture seeds & chives seeds.
Below is what I picked out at the Lone Star Pottery.
Then on to a yard sale and found these 3 beauties.

Oh, good find! I like the red pots but I like brass pots, too. I always look for pots when we go to yard sales. I'd have to think about what to put in them, too. dooley

Oh, how pretty! They do say one man's trash is another man's treasure. It's amazing what can be put to good use with a little creativity! A nice find indeed!

Pansies in the winter and petunias in the spring is what I envisioned in the reddish pot. Or a succulent (but I don't know the name of it) but it has babies on it. Or do all succulents have babies cascading? Shows that I need all the help I can get about this gardening thingy

The reason is I don't know what one of them is.The marker doen't tell, two is
Dianthus(Diana Mix)white with purple center and pink with dark pink center.and one is a Blue Bird(Nemesia Fruticans)I will plant the Blue Bird and the stocks in one of the brass ones. The two Danthus will go in two of the four and I want some petuniasin the other two.

Sounds good to me. I like dianthus and the others, too. I put my plants in the exercise room today. It is getting to be too cool at night. I still have a few outside. Some that are hanging under the eaves. dr says he'll put hooks in the exercise room for me. It doesn't have the plastic yet but everything comes in it's time. dooley
