Here are some photos I took today while working on some pots for a client. It was a lot of fun working with such an easy going person. I had carte blanche, but tried to include plants she mentioned she liked, such as bougainvillea.

Wow! Those are beautiful. Do you purchase the containers too?
Adriana–Thanks. Yep, I purchased the pots for the client and painted them a flat black. I had intended to do a white wash over the black (so that there would be white paint in the crevices) but I didn’t like how it looked.
Oooo, I just picked up a Tropic Canna today! I think I’m going to put some sunset calobroacha around the base… Those look great!
Beautiful hot combos, Fern! I wish we could grow Bouganvilleas!
