Today I made some new pillows for the benches on my deck. I wanted some vibrant colors to match the flowers. I think
I still need an orange pillow, so I will have to search my fabric stash and see what I can come up with.
This year I planted calla lillies in the center of many of my annual containers. I like the height it gives
and the flowers never fail to be beauties. I save the callas every year by putting them underneath the crawl space of the
house. It is unheated, but does not freeze. I just stick the entire pot (soil and all) under the house and do nothing with
it until the next year. I then just pull them out and start watering.
This old barrel is my favorite container. I planted callas and elephant's ear in the center with petunias. The green
plant hanging down is licorice--I love the light green color of it and the contrast with the long purple plant (I do not know
the name of this one).
