Very pretty, Angie. I really like the fancy geraniums. Is that plaque the Taj Mahal?

Thanks NoH2O! Yes it is. I couldn't find a good place for it inside and then I was like, duh...outside! lol

I like the fancy geraniums too. I wish they would do well here I would love to grow some.....Your baskets are soooo pretty......... :o)

I wonder why they don't do well there willowasp. They like it hot and dry. These are in a sphagnum moss lined wire basket and they never complained about not getting watered. Hmm...they even overwintered in an upstairs south facing window in this basket last year. I couldn't be happier with them myself. :) I wish you could grow them too.

Well it's hot here alright, but it's really wet and humid. I think its the humidity they don't like. I know the ones I see here are not really pretty either. Once in awhile you will see one that looks good but they don't usually stay that way.

We have so many things that do really well here I don't know why I even worry about it......LOL

But I am going to keep trying.

Years ago I had two that did really well one summer for me. But when It started raining alot, that was the end of them.......LOL

I don't think it could have rained more here this year than it did. We are still something like 4 inches over normal and we're used to droughts! So if I was you, I'd keep trying. :)
This planter was on the edge of the porch, so it didn't get drowned and it drains very well. But, I know the humidity was super high all summer. *shrug*
