Flower Baskets

 

This two-tiered wire basket has been in our garden for a couple of years, just being sort of a rusty relic/artistic element.  (Read: I've been too lazy to plant flowers in it.)  In my defense, I wasn't really sure what I wanted to put in there, and how I was going to make it work.  I knew I could use coconut grass.  But I don't really like coconut grass.  Although, the squirrels do, and before the end of summer, anything planted in a coconut grass-lined basket has been pillaged as nesting material.  Anyway.  Then I spied this stuff at Al's.

 
I seriously can't believe I bought Oregon moss-in-a-bag.  I mean... this is Oregon.  There's green moss everywhere!  But, the two-tiered relic has been rusting in my garden two years already.  Who knows when I'd find time to harvest Oregon green moss for my do-it-yourself-you-lazy-girl project.  So.  Onto my cart it went, and off I went to checkout.

 

It turns out, I dig this packaged Oregon green moss, even if I didn't dig it up myself.  Look how pretty it is in the baskets!  I added dirt (from yet another bag...egads!) and these sweet little begonias...

...et voila!  Rusty-relic-turned-fab-flower-planter!

 Now.  To find homes for these little pots of happy.

Ok, I had to jump through some hoops to comment here, but it's been a long time so I thought it was only right. :)
I'm lovin' your wire plant stand Miss Tammy, and I think it turned out wonderfully.
I hope you're doing well, and that all is good in your part of the world.
xo, Cerri

Thanks, Cerri! I really like my little baskets, and can't wait for the begonias to fill in a little bit.

Hope you're doing swell! xoxo
