Fall container gardens: WOW
Kerry Michaels, who writes about container gardening at about.com, has posted a stunning gallery of photos of fall containers and offers this advice:
Fall is a great time to experiment and have fun with container gardens. Try different colors and textures. Think about using perennials or trying out some cool looking, cold loving annuals in your containers.
Don't forget that a single plant in a wonderful pot can look stunning. Also, try grouping your containers and try using some pumpkins or decorative gourds to unify your design.
Take a look at her photo gallery. It is inspirational!

Susan, I love these photos--inspirational! What is the airy flower in the photo at top? I love old-fashioned pansies and their sweet faces, and this is a very striking combination.
Dahlink: I think you are referring to the LINARIA "ENCHANTMENT" , which has magenta and golden flowers that look like tiny snapdragons. They are surrounded by a buttercream-colored phlox and "Matrix Surprise" pansies.--Susan

Hey Susan - Thanks for the shout out. I love fall and fall containers - all the oranges and browns and great textures. I have wayyyy too much fun in the fall.
Where are you Kerry? And is fall there yet? Or has it been and gone?--Susan
