Wow, it's so lush! Very pretty. Is that a plant you've had for a few years?

About 4 or 5 year maybe?

for some reason i didn't think those were hardy enough to grow around here. do you have to bring it inside for the winter?

YES, they do not like the way I treat them indoors apparently and always look awful by the time I put them out. Stress must suit them well.... LOL

it looks much easier to move and store than cactuses! we finally gave up on them. or i should say Mom finally gave up on them...

I love your wheelbarrow, Carol Dee. I have a couple that I use, too. One was my Gramma’s, and the other was one I picked up at a garage sale. I plant petunias in them, most of the time... Here’s Grammas’s this year. *swoon!* Behind it is a mini butterfly bush, so the spike blooms you see are not in the wheelbarrow. And I have a container of those lovely orange zinnias which I love so much, next to the wheelbarrow.

Here is it from the other side. The handles are the only real hint that it’s a wheelbarrow under all that purple! Ha!

Here is the other wheelbarrow — same group of purple petunias in this one. It never made it down to the coop.
