Last month I was asked to create a container for a charity auction to benefit the Great Park Conservancy. I put together this romantic combination in a lightweight container. It contains a 'Ballerina' rose, 'Black Knight' heliotrope, nemesia, bacopa and 'Blackie' sweet potato vine. Over the summer it will grow and overflow the container nicely as well as be fragrant. I'm not sure what the final amount was it went for, but it was a couple hundred dollars when I last checked during the auction. I hope whoever got it enjoys it!
That turned out beautiful. I am sure who ever got it will love it and enjoy it all summer!!!
ReplyDeleteThat is the kind of thing I would actauly bid on in an auction! Usually it is things you never need or want....lol. ~Brooke
ReplyDeleteStunning and very romantic looking!
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely container! Bacopa is one of my favorite plants and I have it growing by a Chicago Peace rose. Have you ever seen Mindy's blog? http://mindyluvs2garden.blogspot.com/2009/03/take-this-chair-and-stuff-it.html She did a charity project was beautiful. Thank you for sharing all your great projects with us!
ReplyDeleteYou did a great job Sheila. I love it. That has to make you feel good that it sold for so much.
ReplyDeleteCould you ship one just like it to me? That is beautiful! Yeah for auctions to raise money.
ReplyDeleteThat IS very romantic. I love that you picked plants that have a scent too! They're much more fun on the patio that way.
ReplyDeleteA beautiful combination, and it's just going to get even lovelier as the summer goes on. Heliotrope is one of my favorites for containers--just love the purple flowers and the velvety texture of the leaves.
ReplyDeleteIt's beautiful and I just love the plant choices. I bet whoever got it will love it!
ReplyDeleteSheila, That is a great looking container and you have filled it to perfection...I love that you've added a fragrant plant. That is a nice touch. gail
