The finished planter. Really like the cauldron planter, as an allusion to Tinkerbell's task of repairing the pots and pans in Neverland. The Euphorbia "Black Pearl" is a reference to "Pirates of the Caribbean", of course. The black marbles look like black pearls, and, of course, Peter Pan has a case of "lost marbles". If you thought that I've lost mine - you might be correct! In the movie "The Goonies" (about pirate treasure), the village is saved from redevelopment by the jewels found in a marble bag!! Aharr!!!!

Thank You, Eileen. On a serious note, this plant has many buds, and looking forward to seeing those lovely black centres against the lime green. :-)
