I like the stylish, natural pedestal it's sitting on too! Got a few dozen of each around here. Perhaps I'll follow your casual garden decor ideas, Viking!

Thanks poochella, I had a big pine tree that had to be taken down. It was lifting up the drive way and I was afraid it would cause the neighbors foundation to break. I like to put things in containers so that I can move them around when they bloom. If you decide to put a few up in pots I would love to see pictures. I learn by looking at others.

My Gosh, they looks like mine!!

For potted plants that I intend to place in the garden, I like to use dark containers (or paint them black) so that they disappear behind the foliage of other plants and aren't so visible in the border. But I love the idea of using anything and everything as a plant container (although I've managed to kill a couple of things by forgetting to drill drainage holes!)

Hey, I have a brugmansia in a pot like that. However, I decided to bury the pot in the ground. Works well with the brugs, as I merely shovel prune the plant in the autumn when I bring them inside for the winter.
