Cultivating a Culture of Gardening™
Long ago, in a place called McKinney, Texas, I used to come once or twice a year to do container planting demonstrations.
This euphorphia and bougainvillea are one of my favorite, simple combinations.
I broke my sunglasses on the plane trip down to Texas and had to borrow these that made me look like a bug!
Rose, rosemary, and petunia

"Gardening is not some sort of game by which one proves his superiority over others, nor is it a marketplace for the display of elegant things that others cannot afford. It is, on the contrary, a growing work of creation, endless in its changing elements. It is not a monument or an achievement, but a sort of traveling, a kind of pilgrimage you might say, often a bit grubby and sweaty though true pilgrims do not mind that. A garden is not a picture, but a language, which is of course the major art of life." Henry Mitchell "The Essential Earthman" I work as the Floriculture Director for Landscape Services, Inc. My job includes designing and planting semi-annually hundreds of annual beds containers and garden beds for commercial development, neighborhoods, and residents requesting our horticulture services. I love my job and the opportunity to bring beauty to our local communities. Most of all, I love introducing new plant material to the average gardener, and to helping them find success in their own gardens.

Really love that first pic of the bougainvillea. All of your containers are lovely. I really need to start experimenting with containers (mixing plants instead of just one variety in a pot).
I am hust lovin' your pots - I wish I'd got the knack!
