Repeat idea from a previous year.
Same birdcage, different petunia.
Above: Container in June.
Below: Container in late August:
How gorgeous is that petunia???
I wish I could give you the name...
I've been thru all my tags twice and can't find this one. aaarrgghh....
All I know for sure, whatever its name, I LOVE it!!!
Original container from 2008:
This photo (and one of my vintage wheelbarrow filled with zinnias) are my most popular pins on Pinterest. I wish I knew exactly (or even approximately) how many times they'd been pinned!
Something so well loved is worth repeating, right??
***Edited to add: The reason I couldn't find the tag to this years petunia ~ it was stuck right in the pot! Gee, who would have thought to do that??!! Anyway, the name is Petunia 'Cascadias Rim Magenta.' (for my own reference and interested parties...)
Yes, definitely worth repeating. It's a lovely idea! Taking notes ...

It doesn't surprise me about the wheelbarrow being so popular on Pinterest at all-I think I have that picture pinned. It is so pretty the way you have planted and photographed it. Have you tried out the latest way to waste time on the computer- Hometalk? Here is a link: http://www.hometalk.com/
I resisted until this week and then decided to give it a go. It is more interactive than Pinterest and also limited to home/garden.
The birdcage planter is adorable by the way. I am sure it has been pinned lots of times already.

Wow, now I'm thinking that I need a birdcage in my garden. It looks incredible! I do have a houseplant in a birdcage, and of course it puzzled my son. "Is your houseplant so wild that it needs to be in a cage?" He always makes me laugh!
