Front Porch

 


The front porch as never been more beautiful.   There are a few little changes I would make, for next year.

On Porch
Large pots:  Sun patience, grass.  I think I will get a bigger purple grass for next year
Calalily:  White in large pot, Gold Fever in medium pot, Millennial Queen small pot

Steps:
PW Super Bena, White Out

Side:  Pink Caladium  
Next year I have a tall thin pot and three different caladiums.   The pinks will go in the pots next to the bench.
