the Cauldron

I am the some what dubious owner of a cauldron. It is planted firm in my front yard. I have been wondering what on Earth I would do with it all winter.

Previously it has held petunias. I am not overly fond of petunias. I don't really appreciate the fragrance. Everybody plants them. They do bloom consistently and they come in a lovely array of colors. But they just aren't my favorite.

I decided on a fall flowering vine. The foliage is a lovely sagey green. It grows full and happy all summer. I had some in my window box in Dallas.

The little garden center didn't have any, except in hanging baskets. I asked them to call me if they got any in. Today they called.

This evening I planted them in my yard cauldron with a red geranium in the middle. I think it will fill in full and gorgeous.





Underneath I have lovely moss roses. I am happy.
