Martha,
Thanks for the compliments. No I didn't make the planter, bought it, but they should be easy enough to make.

Those are really pretty... your pots, your choice of flowers. You have a natural knack!

Hello, No I buy them at a local nursery that starts them for seed. I get them when they are rather small. Ilike watching them grow. LOL
