Don't you think this is a little bit to much pot for this small Sempervivum? ;-)
I like the metal thingy - dragonfly?
Sempervivum ohioan
Meaning too deep for the root system: yes, I agree.
However, it shoots up to a dozen attached plants that will dangle nicely from this type of pot and the effect is lost if the plant is potted at ground level in a horizontal planter.
I have decided to call this pot an "urn".
I looked up the dictionary for my post today too!
I notice that incredibly healthy staghorn too. The day after tomorrow you will see my very not too well elk horn ... yes following our earlier posts I know its an elk horn not a stag horn.
Yes I agree it's an urn, but only half a one, given it is on the wall.
I go with "vessel."
(I have this same urn/vessel Julie. Growing tarragon.)
Hah ... the brilliance of distance! You have just solved and "issue" for me, Karin. This is a narrow passageway between fence and house, made narrower by the garden bed I constructed for gardenia and daphne - compounded by baskets hanging from window bars and door knobs or simply sitting on bricks. Mostly these baskets are herbs.
Why not a wall of urned herbs, says she dusting her hands ...
Have you started on this? I love the idea. Might steal it, on a small scale.
ummm ...no I have not started on this yet because within a day or so of this post my landlard upped my rent by 18% and I am looking elsewhere! He lives next door and not once has he discussed it with me before or since and I am sooo pissed off! The RE agent took one look at all that I have done and reckoned that the market value was much higher. Bastard! However, I take the idea of a herbarium with moi ...
No! I'm so sorry. What ignorance. Don't they know all the charm will follow you when you go?
