First Hanging Baskets


First Hanging Baskets

This is a set from a big order for a hotel. I can say that inspiration from GOY is an unlimited resource to help me excel on putting things together, it is such a joy. I can't wait for this golden Lysimachia to start popping deep yellow blooms.

Thanks Yorkshire. Up here with such a short season, these must be ready to go in three weeks, looking full, and will only have about 2 1/2 months to keep growing. So stuff them and start watering.....lol. Mimulus and lysimachia will just pour right over the sides anyhow. :-)

Thank you all for the lovely comments. :-)

I'll certainly be posting some grown ins, before they are picked up. Maybe even at the hotel on display later in the season too. :-) I have a whole greenhouse of variety to choose from, great for making baskets. :-)

I'm curious of the yellow geranium too. I was searching all spring and so far no one I talk to has heard of such yet.

So exciting Scotkat. I planning the front boxes around yellow and pink geranium and then realized I wasn't going to find it. I'll check that supplier, thanks!

Looks liked they can be obtained through GOY! I'll have to look for an american supplier.
