Pottery Pots and Garden Ornaments

April 1, 2011.

Porcelain wall pots are the new addition to this wall.

I have been using portulaca or purslane for the clay pot,

but for the porcelain I use white alyssum which is very fragrant,

pink verbena, and purple lobelia.

Fish shape wall pot and ornament.

I put fan flower and sweet potato vine in it.

A puppy clay pot from Hooten's. Still not sure what to put in it,

maybe pink flowering creeping thyme.

A partridge by holly.

Another fish-shape garden ornament

(a gift from getting the above fish-shape wall pot).

The fishes and porcelain pots were purchased at

The First Monday pottery shop in Canton, Tx.

First Monday Trade Days

I took a little time away from the garden and went visit Canton's First Monday Trade Days last weekend.
