Hang ten in Newport Beach

Roger's Gardens in Newport Beach, CA

Hang ten, er twelve actually

This was a display in the entrance to Roger's Gardens, a well known nursery in Newport Beach. It's only a power walk (or dog walk) away from my sister's house so when we visit we trip on over there - usually with 2 or 3 dogs in tow. (they don't seem to mind - the nursery and the dogs.)  Roger's has a whole lot more than plants to buy, but still, it's got nice visual displays everywhere.

These hanging plants adorn a wall beautifully don't you think? Or they can create a little privacy on the edge of a porch. Or in a narrow side yard.

I love the repetition - these plants have more impact because they are clustered together and there are lots of them. And just the perfect size too.

Those hanging pots were expensive ( I don't remember how much now), but you could do the same with common terracotta pots and a porcelain drill bit for drilling your own holes.

And succulents are perfect for hanging pots (you know, the pots that don't ever have drip irrigation) because they put up with folks like me who forget to water them.
