Planters

I bought the big planter twenty years ago, and we've had the smaller planters for nineteen. What goes in them depends mostly on what strikes my fancy on Memorial Day or thereabouts. The hanging basket gets selected on similar whims.

We also put a container behind the rail; it's (more or less) rectangular, with bright flowers, and clearly designed by the same crew as these. It's there now, but wasn't ready when I took this pic.

I suppose we'll put a perennial border around the steps some year, but so far we've been happy with annuals. Cosmos, this summer.

The cat? Perhaps it's a memorial for Peppermint.
