Wow, eoe, those pots are amazing! Are you afraid of the clay or the potential for pollutants? What's in the pot with the dark potato vine?

I'm afraid of the clay although I have planted hostas, two japanese maples, eucalyptus, lavendar, some roses, a few things, in the dirt. But mainly I go with pots.
That's an angels' wing begonia in the pot with the sweet potato vine. Haven't seen that flower this year at all.

It'd stand no chance of coming back here.....

I think you can search plants by soil type.

The dark potatoe vine is really nice. I did the lighter ones last year.

My yard is really odd. I can't get Gladiolus to come back and Clematis have all had a hard time too. I do get Morning Glory and Impatiens that come back though. Do do do do. Wierd stuff.

Even in my pots some of the so-called annuals do come back. Mostly the vines and stuff I bought as accents. My roses in pots have returned and another flower, a colorful petunia that's on it's 3rd year! But the begonias don't come back.

My hostas are looking very weak this year. I've had them for about eight years. Does anyone know if certain plants wear out or something after awhile?

I haven't been able to find the light potato vine this year. Against the dark flowers, it's so vibrant and punchy. I miss it.

Ya know, everyone who read the title to this thread probably thought the same thing, cj, but no one posted a stoopid graphic. What are you in second grade? That's the kind of thing I have to tell my special ed student to refrain from.
