Ooooh !!! Just beautiful.
Just call me "copycat" because I'm going to make one.

Thanks for sharing.

Very nice indeed! ;0)

Thx! The best part is I got that steel urn for $5 from lowes because it was the last one in a discontinued SKU. I had to drill a hole in from the top for draining, but other than that it was perfect.

That's beautiful, and what a steal! I have always loved that blue lobelia.

That urn was a great bargain pheitmeyer (what an interesting moniker), love the black & blue together!

I ADORE that annual lobelia but up here, they're all sold out by Memorial Day. I guess I will learn to grow them from seed. This would be a nice time of year to sell them here again, now that it's cooler.

I agree, Carrie, this would be a great time of the year to sell lobelia. One year around halloween I got a pumpkin (real) and cut a big hole in the top and planted small mums, pansies and lobelia in it. Cute as a button. Didn't last a long time but it was a cutie for about 2 weeks. I put a little ivy in it, too. Our weather here is not really cold til sometime in Nov. but its cool enough for a punkin full of flowers.
