back in the 80's I used to have a small container business for realtors only....I lived in Houston at the time ....so many houseplants were used for patio containers..

Those are great! Just sit out on the patio and put together containers? Sounds like a good job to me!

How fun! I started container gardening outside in '85. You've inspired me to go look for all my old pics. I remember a lot of them, but to find photos would be a great project.

It is worth the effort I promise as I had forgotten all about some plants that i used a lot in containers....

Wow, those are just gorgeous! That does sound like a wonderful job. But how could you bear to part with them?

I needed the money!!!!!! I would make at least 25 a day.....and they would go out in two days......giving them a chance to settle in their new containers...
