Moss Rose update

 


View of Stump With Tractor that doesn't run. The path is the one we follow to trash bins and take to walk Beau. This is what I see when we come back home.
Beau always gives a sniff to the tractor that doesn't run and has not for the 15 years since he pushed it across the street from the neighbors house that so kindly gave it to him.
Even better is, there are TWO of them. The other is behind the blue trash bin.
Roses for Rosy at LLB in Backyard for Nature Friday


My cheap flowers  have doubled in size, and the Crack now has 4 plants and 1 bloom.
Only Five Dollars for each one.

    The stump with your pots of flowers is SO pretty! I think the word here is charming!! LOVE the crack! One of my favorites quotes is from Leonard Cohen..."There is a crack in everything. That's how the light gets in."

    i totally love the idea with the pot!!!!... our dad said you can bring the tractor, he can repair it... do you want purple or green duct tape?

    Your next challenge (should you accept it) is to carve out a hollow in the top of the stump itself and plant something that will come flowing down the sides - like a prostrate rosemary .... There's something to think about. Mr T

    Your flowers are coming along beautifully, the tractor not so much. Maybe you can plant flowers on that too lol.

    That crack looks so cool with the flowers erupting ... almost like they huffed and puffed and cracked the pot open of their own might.

    I was thinking the same thing (as Martha) about the tractor. Need to send you a pix of what the city of Wetumpka did with their antique fire engine.

    Lovely update on the flowers and I really and truly love that cracked pot,it is very artsy.

    Moss rose was a good choice to plant in your pot. I'm sure it will thrive as this type of plant tolerates dry conditions. It looks great on the tree stump. What will Bob do with the tractors?

    I like Martha's suggestion about planting some flowers on the tractor..It would add a touch of glamor.
    Cracked pot is really looking good.
    I guess you have found the perfect place to show it off.
    I'm on elder care duty in a few hours....going to be pretty warm out but at least we can be outside in the shade...yay..it helps make the time pass. I go again on Saturday around dinner time for a few hours too. So I will fix her dinner and putter around until Karen gets back from her graduation dinner party. A few extra bucks really helps.

    Such a pretty site!! How pretty the little blooms coming out of the crack are.I have to agree, flowers on the tractor would be a fun touch!! Thanks so much for the Rosy Roses today!!!

    That is a perfect spot for your planter, and your cracked pot is now a work of art. I agree with Martha, that would be another work of art putting flowers with the tractor.

    I like the broken pot that is still useful and pretty.

    I love your Plumber's Behind pot! It looks like something from a modern art museum. And your other portulaca is just going to town in that small pot. I love moss roses!

    Good use of the stump to put those pretty flowers there. Maybe you should grow thing out of the tractor. I've seen that in country towns.Plants growing out of old cars etc.
