I like pots. I like unique pots. I don't like faddish pots, or pots that take away from the plants/flowers therein. Don't get me wrong. They can be bright and colorful, but not obnoxious. This pot was given to me by my sister's South African mother-in-law. I think it's great! While I was re-potting about a month ago this pot was inhabited by the remains of a grass (the cousin to corn). I was trying to figure out where to put these Pansies, and they kept asking to be put here. "No," I said "You will look ridiculous with the grass. I am not going to do that."
"No, we won't." They insisted. "That is where we want to be potted. We don't like any of the others you have here."
I ignored them for about fifteen minutes, and finally gave in. Pansies are very persuasive flowers.
They didn't look half bad, and at first I thought my little stalk would be pleased at the company. Little did we know that the Pansies were not planning on co-habitation. They were aiming for pot domination. Which they did; I still like them, though.

Thanks for visiting my blog, Red Clover. I too like your pot and I know all about pansies - they are tough little creatures! Am trying to work out whether you are in the US or the UK but you don't give me much to go on.
Hi Redclover, I like what you did here, or at least what the pansies made you do! As well and the pot and the plant I also like the stand - what I can see of it. Bob.
thank you for your nice complements, I do believe the flower is a verbena don't know what type.
Weaver of Grass...I'll take that as a compliment seeing as how I have many ancestors from the UK, my maiden name is Hall, and my husband and I both lean to British rock, style, etc. It's in the blood you see. I have spent about a month bashing around the UK and I felt like I was visiting my Grandmother's house at times.
I actually live in the USA and currently reside in a city at the base of the Rocky Mountains. They are stunning today as I walk up my stairwell, covered in fresh snow, and patterns of the waning sun.
Pansies are tough. They are surviving this weather just fine.
Nice pot!
I ran across your blog and enjoy it. Lovely pictures too.

I like that pot!!! Pansies and pots got so well together. You are doing such a neat job of your garden. Better than I am. Horse and calf in the garden..not a good idea.
