The coleus are wonderful, but the calla and canna combos really stand out for me and your whole deck looks great. I might need to be a little more generous with the feeding and care since I think Pennsylvania is a little too far to be included in your husband's watering rounds!<br />FrankAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6735463.post-78304654639763499982015-09-07T12:10:41.891-04:002015-09-07T12:10:41.891-04:00Thanks, Diana.

I am guessing another 4 weeks before the containers get hit with a hard frost. It seems like summer goes by faster each year!<br />Diana LaMarrehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11324428666401187803noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6735463.post-55628291506194805402015-09-06T22:24:24.650-04:002015-09-06T22:24:24.650-04:00Wow your flowers are still looking very nice Zoey....Wow your flowers are still looking very nice Zoey.

You really need to let them know when they do not provide the plant you paid for!! I nearly fell over when I looked up my receipt for this post and realized that I paid over $80 with shipping for that one tiny sea holly! :) I used to get unique plants from Home Depot, too. But the last couple of years I have not been able to find anything different there.Diana LaMarrehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11324428666401187803noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6735463.post-16604164284986424512015-09-06T18:49:50.211-04:002015-09-06T18:49:50.211-04:00Hi Beth,

If I remember correctly, it's very similar to my Lionhart, which I love. I hope you love yours, too!<br />Diana LaMarrehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11324428666401187803noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6735463.post-38055437882963465842015-09-06T16:55:51.442-04:002015-09-06T16:55:51.442-04:00Hi Zoey, I have always loved your creative contain...Hi Zoey, I have always loved your creative containers. I agree about Breck's. One great investment I made with them was when I purchased lots of daffodils - years ago. They have flourished, to the point where I've dug many for other people and still have several hundred in my gardens. My most recent purchase from them is an Asiatic lily 'Graffity' and two hardy hibiscus. Hope they do well!

I had trouble with them on Dahlias as well---the ones I ordered and the ones I got were definately not the same, but unlike you, I never complained. I'll have to remember to say something next time!<br /><br />You always do the BEST job on containers--you have such talent for that. Where on earth are you getting some of these plants? Certainly not the Home Depot! I've been so disgusted with their lousy selections the past couple of years. They used to get unusual things, now it's just the plain same-old stuff.<br /><br />Hope your holiday weekend is wonderful<br />Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10122524042294993949noreply@blogger.com
