Those are going to be so pretty, Carol Dee. Don't you just love that little white flower? I think it is a relative of the poinsettia, can't remember the name right now.

Yes, those are going to be so cheery this summer!
I was trying to remember that white one too, it really brightens up a container. It's Diamond Frost euphorbia.

Coleus is a favorite of mine also, they add so much color. I didn't use any this year though because the deer ate them last year.

Post pics when they fill in. I'm sure they will look lovely.

This is the herb pot I planted for a client. It only has to be pretty for 2 and a half months while they are in residence.

It has a variegated lavender, two different sages, tarragon, two mints and 3 strawberry plants. It will get crowded, and the watering needs are different, so I have to watch that the lavender doesn't get too wet.
But my clients like the idea of having an herb pot on the deck, whether they use the herbs or not.
And it's kind of cute.

The tomatoes in their Wall O' Waters are in the background. Already setting blooms!

@thistlebloom I think I accounted for all the plants you mentioned. Is the green and white plant a type of mint? What is it?
