I'll have to get the camera out but in the meantime.....Tinkster...love the pots you used    they're different and colorful

Those look great. 

I've yet to plant anything in either of my tricycle things.   , don't even know where to put them at outside.  I've been working very hard getting the yard picked up, mulched up etc for a Father's Day cookout.  Maybe I'll take some of my succulents and put them in one of them....hmmmm maybe that's an idea for the one with the wagon attached.

Tink I just love that second pot but the price has always scared me from buying it!

Jen, Orange Peel plant and Crystal Confetti are two plants that I have problem growing in my ponds.. I should try them sometime in a container pond!  I really like them both!

I've got to get my resizer working again to share some of my pix.... I've got two container ponds this year and they are beginning to fill in nicely!

Nothing special but unique.......   broken pot brought to you by my DH....."It's in the wrong PLACE!!"

and some other potted residents

After seeing yours, I'm a little too embarassed to share my cheesy containers.

How pretty!  It has been rainy here, I'll take pics when my flowers dry out.  They are droopy now.

Bonnie the first year the Orange Peel didn't do nothing this year it took off.

Nice!! I love all the nice pottery pots but I can't bring myself to put the dollars down for them.  Besides, my dogs would most likely end up breaking them so most of my stuff is good old plastic or unbreakable things such as old wheelbarrows, wood boxes, etc.

Wonderful idea for a topic Tink, even if it is in the wrong forum.   
Here goes mine.

Donkey tails  (new planting)
Plectranthus
Not sure

Here is a pot that was purchased as a gift for my daughter in law's birthday on the first. I was going to make a fountain pot for her. Not only did she not get it but I am using it for one of the Joann Prings. Today I put two tiny feeder goldfish in it to keep the mosquito population down.

You all make me jealous - I wish I had more time to work in the yard.  I spend all my time at work, it seems.  And when I DO get some time, I have to REDO things I already did years ago, because the stupid builder next door did so much damage to my yard, fence, arbors, deck and plants, I have to rebuild just about everything.

Anyway, I don't have a way to post pictures, but I did make some attractive pots this spring with fuschia impatiens, purple marguerita sweet potato vine, and the chartreuse sweet potato vine - including the heart-shaped leaves and the thinner spidery leaves.  Very nice combinations of colors and textures.

Jerry, the fourth one is Purple Heart, Tradescantia pallida 'Purple Heart' also known as Setcreasea pallida

I got mine from Claude at the Portland Pond Partay. Did you?

I'll have to take pics of my containers. I have mostly cheesy plastic ones. I lost a bunch of ceramic and stoneware ones a few years ago to really bad weather and have been too cheap to buy more.

[Jerry]

Yeah LeeAnne, thanks.  Mine was a piece i broke off somewhere
It is like Tradescntia Fluminsens (sp) but more robust.
It is still pretty young, so hopefully it will grow.
I had to include this photo. Cukes used to elude me, but not anymore!  These are likely too big!
