Nice flower, shame about the roots

Wonderful!

I love the leaves too, it's stunning..

I like its warm tones.

Gosh, that's dramatic.

I think yours is the real Macoy.

One of the most floriferous plants in the garden at the moment.

Really lovely.

That's a pretty shade ...

And the leaves have a brownish tinge to them. I bought mine thro one of the large mail order companies, but alway been disappointed, so don't use any of these now, although they keep sending catalogues.

Yes, three VERY pretty pots!

Yes, lovely to see you again and what a gorgeous photo.

The pots all look very pretty! :)

Pretty dainty flowers Spritz...

Hi Barbara :) nice to see you .

So nice to see you again

Hello Barbara... so nice to see your garden again! your planters are an inspiration. have always loved your riverside garden, how is it coming along?

Your Astilbe Cappucino leaves look more like I believed they would be. I think mine is an imposter.

Hello Spritz, that's very delicate..

Very nice! :)

Lovely blog Barbara ... your green and white planting scheme is very stylish 🙂.

Welcome back Spritz ... how are you keeping?

That's a pretty one.

You are both very creative...and the baskets provide food for some insects so all in all...ten out of ten!

Have to agree with everyone - the pole and baskets are great, including the inspiredlittle bird. When you first had that urn I never imagined a display like that -its glorious.

Dear Henry,

Lovely Blog. Beautiful pictures.

2010, end of summer, I went to UK for a pos graduation program.
Something I was enchated there were the hanging baskets with flowers, mostly on streets.
I looked for something similar here but unfortunatelly was not able to find it.
Only on WISH and is a nightmare, because it can be retained in customs, or taxed at 60% for being imported, etc. etc.
Still waiting for some gardening store here import them. I'll be the first on line to buy those. :)

Lovely to hear from you again Spritz. I hope you are all well. I have a Lemon Balm given to me by my brother who
said it tastes and smells of lemon but mine does not. It is a member of the mint family and looks very like the photo above.

Wow! What a clever couple you are! Where there is a will there is a way.........beautifully done.

Like the idea of winter baskets: yours are lovely.
How useful to have such a handy husband!

Hello Barbara, where ya been? Love the baskets and that beautiful pot on the plinth, fabulous planting. I can't get to a garden centre, (no car) but many of my basket plants have survived the winter including petunias and a helichrysum! :-)
