Remember this pic from a year ago when I covered a BB with rope and it went in my "nautical garden" with the GS mermaid:

Well, I've been admiring all the painting and suggestions here for "pots & planters"...sooo...to stick with my nautical theme and natural look, I opted to try the rope again...here's the results (with terra cotta tealight candle fish...a gift a few yrs ago from one of my DD's):

Used Silicone II and an extra pair of hands!

The plants will grow alot (I hope)...called Star Flower "Blue Stars" (Laurentia)... they're blue star-shaped fragrant flowers and bloom all summer...had one plant last yr. in old cast iron tub...like full sun, zone 7-11, annual here. Jeanne S.
