I love all kinds of coleus because it is so colorful and can be used in almost any kind of plant bed or potted arrangement. It rained last night, and I took this picture about 6 AM.

No, l like to grow pot in my flowers. ?

My mother grew red geraniums in wooden boxes outdoors. My mother's cousin Marylane, a professional artist who lives in England, did a large oil painting of mom's red geraniums, accented with a white rose.

At age 12, one afternoon I watched Marylane arrange Mom's flowers on a table, and quickly paint them. The painting hangs in my bedroom.

Marylane Barfield was the first American and first woman to be elected president of the British Royal Society of Fine Artists.

The white rose is the focal point of the painting. I didn't get the right camera angle. Will try again tomorrow.

Earlier this year.

I've been known for growing the most beautiful of indica's, sativa's and learning the science of hybrids without chemicals

I love growing, had geraniums and nasturtiums in planters & 23 roses I started when I was in grade school. Had a raised bed vegetable garden when I was married....

What a creative and beautiful arrangement!

I am not a gardener and do not have a green thumb, but I love flowers and especially wild flowers. My favorite part of Spring is the profusion of wildflowers where I live here in central Texas.

I prefer pots over planting in the ground. Easier to take care of.

When I was taking birth control pills in the 1970s I accidentally discovered that adding a crushed birth control pill to the water before I watered the plants made them all burst into bloom..even out of season!

Gorgeous! I have been into raised beds. Herbs and annuals are fun.

give me the good earth

Last year I placed in water an avocado seed. After two months it started to grow roots...very fast. I placed the seed in dirt and it began to grow even faster. One month later it was two feet tall....I gave the pot to a friend and she planted it on the ground. Today, is on its way to become a nice avocado tree. Ten feet tall and getting fatter.
