At my friend Hilary’s request, here are some pictures of all the progress I finally managed to make in the front of our house two weekends ago. One of the less nice things about our house is the way the driveway comes all the way up to the front of the house, so any plants I might have wanted to soften all that concrete would have be in planters. Now that we’ve lived in our house for almost a full year, I finally got around to actually finding some that I liked!
All three pots together
(Please excuse all the tree crud on the ground around the pots; we’ve been getting a lot of rain and our pine trees are going a bit crazy right now.)
Now here are the glamor shots of each pot individually. They all have purple in them somewhere, since our front door is purple, but each pot also has it’s own secondary color scheme. From left to right as they sit on the ground, they are yellow, pink, and a sort of salmon-pinky-orange. (clicky for bigger images)
The yellow pot
The pink pot
The orange-y pot
The orange-y one is my favorite, and it sits closest to the door because the purple petunias overhanging the front of the pot are almost the same color as the door. I have no clue what the name of the neat salmon-colored flute-y flowers are in the back, but they are awesome, and I generally just love how the colors all came out in that pot. I like the other ones, too, of course, but that one is still my favorite.
I’ve been torn about whether I should post this or not, because it seems like they look better every day, as more of the plants bloom and everything grows just a bit more, but I’m going with these pictures now. Enjoy.
This is easily solved — keep posting planter updates!
