Planted my fountain with succulents, based upon suggestions from ya'll. I found a clearance tray of Ice Plant for $5 at Lowes and then harvested various trimmings from pots on my deck. Also planted that really pretty ice plant from monrovia farms. Here is it freshly planted. I'll take another pic in a couple of months with things have grown up a bit.
Obligatory red smoke tree in background for @Nyboy
Also pretty rhodie in bloom. The deer won't eat them!
Perfect!! Definitely going to try the succulents in mine...if it ever stops snowing! Interesting that the deer don't eat your Rhodi- in NY state they eat the buds during the winter months. So, no flowers in the spring.
