This is my ironing board hanger.I made 2 of them but didn't get them buried with compost around them. It works anyway.
Here is my new Dianthus in bloom.
Here is the other new Dianthus bloom
The Oxalis has grown bigger leaves but hasn't spread any at all.
This Impatien grew from seeds that fell from the ones I planted in the Spring.
My cannas are back in bloom.
The dwarf Canna
The Plumbago is back blooming
The plant I call a Cigar Plant but I don't think it is.It has blooms all over it and the Mexican Petunia is the lilac blooms mixed in.
The Indian Blankets has never slowed down.
Thats all I have for today.

Lovely flowers. I've had that Oxalis as a potted plant. It's so nice with the dark leaves. Wish I could smell the Dianthus.

Oh those dianthus are really, really lovely Glenda!!!  I wish I hadn't thrown my old ironing board out. I would never have thought to make it into a plant hanger though. Wish I had because then it could have looked as good as yours covered in plants.

Great idea with the ironing board hanger, I bet it never thought it would end up doing that job within its lifetime.

Great blossoms you still have Glenda.
Is your Cigar plant the same as Cuphea in Bethies post? I saw one on the sale table at Lowes yesterday I might have to go back and save from the trash bin.

It's so nice to wake up on a chilly, frosted day and enjoy the beauty of flowers so full of life in warmer areas of the U.S. The ironing board is a crafty idea, it's got a certain uniqueness to it! And I love the Dianthus, the color is so pretty! As is the Indian Blanket. Such wonderul colors!

Thank you all for your wonderful comments.I found the old iron ironing board sticking out of grass and weeds dowo the lane while walking Oreo.There had been a camper there at one time.It was upside down open and I have hardly no place to hang my plants and it was
a fast idea.Then on the opposite sid I got the other one the same way and the canoe came from there too.
Yes that is a cuphea a little different color toni.You want be sorry if you get it as it has bloomed and bloomed and still blooming .It did come back from last years and is bigger and better than ever.

Gorgeous, Glendann!  It all looks great.
I was wondering if I was going to see a pic of that
fabulous black pearl pepper plant of yours  I can't wait to try to grow it,
you are still going to send me some seeds, right?

What a great idea for an old ironing board Glenda!
I love the first Dianthus...looks like "Strawberry Parfait"?
