    I put this pot together a couple years ago & have added some Portulaca amilis to the front. They don't look like much yet, but I had to use pretty small plants to stick through those holes on the side of this wire mesh planter.

    Some pics of combo pots from yesterday.
    Birdnest fern (Asplenium nidus) with new cuttings of Perilla 'Magilla.' Bottom pot has heart-leaf Philodendron vine, Pothos and some newly added cuttings of Begonia and Aglaonema.

    Your plants are always lovely, and I really love your creative use of the baskets. :)

    This is a combo-planting/dish garden of succulents which I made several years ago, inspired by Monet's paintings of waterlilies. :oops:

    Of course, it only lasted for one season as a pretty centerpiece on the patio table before outgrowing the bowl, with the parent plants making pups and pushing the blue glass beads out everywhere - but hey, it was nice for a while. lol

    TYVM! :+) And TY for sharing a pic of your awesome bowl! So colorful and pretty. I have a T-shirt of that painting that I wear while gardening often, but can't admit to having created anything in homage to it. Well done! ...and you didn't happen to live in Alabama before, did you? I keep finding those blue glass things in our yard?! LOL!

    Thanks very much for the "likes" and kind compliments. :flower:

    Heheh, :rolleyes: Hubby and I actually do have family in AL, but (to the best of my recollection) we have not salted the earth with any of these "gems" during visits.
