Mommy's Day Planter 2011

Every year, in the beginning of May, I swing by my mother-in-laws house and pick up this planter and take it home with me. I then pull out all the old dead 'stuff', refreshen the soil and refill it with new live 'stuff', and then return it to her for her Mother's Day gift!

This is what the planter looked like for this year... it never looks all that good when I first bring it over but I can imagine what this will look like in a month or so with those fantastically brilliant colors cascading over the edge and down the sides of the pot in a sorta Rapunzel like way! Ü
