Along the driveway at the side of the back steps we opted for a planter which could eventually be moved when they're finally able to build their garage. My son, Ben, was able to work under the cover of the front porch when it was raining on Sunday morning and did a superb job with the construction of this planter. By Tuesday Emily had it painted and after a late afternoon trip to the nearest nursery we already had it planted! Hibiscus 'Fireball' in the center, Stargazer and Casa Blanca Lilies on either side so she'll enjoy their sweet fragrance right by the door, deep burgundy Snapdragons (one of her favorites from childhood), Dusty Miller, Euphorbia 'Diamond Frost' and 'Blackie' Sweet Potato Vine to eventually trail down over the edges.

More pics later!
