GONE Potty!!

Ahh, so that's them !!!
I like :-))

Very nice, especially the square one. Now I'm waiting to see them all planted up :o)
They're going to look great !

You are completely potty Spritz !! lol Love the ones you've chosen and look forward to your planting schemes. Your OH must be so relieved his present problem is solved,but next is the plant selection.Oh dear more visits I fear :)))

lovely pots barbara, i love the square one to hywel :o)) cant wait to see them planted up

nice pots spritz,you will be writing a poetry book next i see

She's a poet and didn't know it....or prhaps she did!!!....lol....lovely selection Sprintz :))))

They look very large, it will be interesting to see what goes in them :)

I have a Pieris 'Flaming Silver' in mind for the square pot, with white Erica and the other one will be planted with lots of plants - seasonally!

Yes, Gee, they are indeed large! :-))))

They might be 'large'
for all of GoY to see,
But you won't find one large enough
To hide the whole of ME.

These look brilliant Spritz, Congrats on finding them. :~)))

Why you might want to hide me in a pot I'm not sure but at least it rhymes!

Clap, clap, clap! :-)))

You'd be surprised at one I saw, Ian - you could have hidden in there - it was HUGE - and a price tag to match - how about £350?? I walked away. :-(

I don't blame you, I think I might have RUN away or at least hobbled fast! Lol

I can't wait to see them wrapped in paper with a big ribbon under your Xmas tree

LOL. Husband asked if we had enough wrapping paper!

they are stunning spritz, so worth the wait.

I'm glad you all approve - they're a bit 'different', aren't they! :-)))

Lucky you, are you allowed to plant them up now ?

Not sure - they're still in the back of the car at the moment!

We've got to work out how much compost to buy - I need ericacious for the square one.

They are really nice Spritzhenry.

Pots that size will be wasted on flowers, what you need is a couple of decent conifers :0)))

a lovely choice Spritz :)))))

Thanks, Mavis & Grindle - and BS.....you know that I DO grow conifers already. :-))

I really, really want a Pieris!!!!!!!!

Just teasing Barbara :0)

Super pots - you should try a bit of amnesia in them so you have a surprise on Christmas morning.

lovely pots..... and poem of course.....

Thanks, Holly.

What pots, Wagger?? ;-)

Glad we were able to tell you where to find the pots you wanted Spritz, and in our neck of the woods too! Our huge pots came from garden centre 'number one', but they havent stocked them for a while.
The outside area in both garden centres is also pretty good in the summer with a nice stock of plants.

So we have successfully added two more garden centres to your shopping list as well as TWO sources for good pots.... Look out birthdays and anniversaries as well as Christmas!

Brill pots Barbara just have to wait now to see what you put in them, looking forward to seeing them.

Very nice pots Spritz. I'm looking forward to see what treasures you will plant them with. :o)

You have indeed, Grenville! I'm hoping for vouchers from the family - so I shall be back spending them at some point in 2010!

Glad you like them Gilli. I shall post photos when they're 'in situ' and planted up. :-))

Do you know which pieris you're going to get spritz? I can recommend 'Little Heath'

I fancy 'Flaming Silver' Andrew - any comments?

Andrew, 'Little Heath' in one!, and 'Little Heath Green' in the other! :0))

Hey! Why can't I have MY choice?? I like the variegated one!

(I will check them out, though!)

LOL - excellent blog and excellent planters - itchy fingers now Spritzhenry?

Thanks, Bl. I'm not supposed to touch them....I just might, though! LOL.

Oh, Sprits! (sorry for the inversion, missing some words and other bad things, but it's for rhyme...:))

Love your poems, Spritzhenry,
They're honey for my mind.
And this one's not exception -
I've read... it's really fine!

The pots are very lovely,
and shapes... and colours too.
I'm looking forward seeing
Where you'll put them to.

You've made your choice - Pieris,
It will be very good!
The second plant is Erica -
They'll both create nice mood.

:-))))))) Clap, clap, Uma! Thanks for the poetic comment!

:)

'Flaming Silver' looks a good one. 'Little Heath' is also variegated and is smaller but the new growth is not so bright

Thanks, Andrew - I went to a Nursery to ask about a 'specimen' sized plant, and they SHOULD be able to source one in Feb/March. Fingers crossed, now! :-)))

Thanks for the poem and the pictures Spritz. I like your choice of pots.

That's good, Toto! I'm not taking them back....;-)

Lovely pots, can recommend Little Heath also Flaming Silver we grow several Pieris in the garden, have created an acid soil for them, dont know all the names as they came with us from the old house.
So glad you found what you were looking for, will look forward to seeing what you eventually decide to put in them...

I'm glad you like 'Flaming Silver', Dd. I'm hoping that the Nursery can get a specimen shrub for me, so it doesn't look silly in the very large pot. Husband now has the task of working out how many bags of ericacious compost will fill it!

That size will take a fair few, Pieris do very well in pots.

Good - thanks, Dd. I was hoping it would be the right choice! :-))

Whatever you plant in them will be the right choice Spritz, as long as its YOUR choice! :~))
Wagger, how do you grow amnesia in pots?? A small dose could come in handy now & again!!

That's easy to come by, Marie - it's called having 'senior moments'! Happens all the time to me. LOL.

Yeah, but if you grew it, you could have selective amnesia!! :~))
I've got a lousy memory anyway! Lol!

Google - amnesia haze for seeds, LOL New plant to me!!!

Sounds good, Wagger! Lol!

OK. I'll be back!..........Hmmmmm....don't think I'll bother with those!

I don't think you should either Spritz! That was very naughty Wagger but hilariously funny :~)))))

I'd like to know exactly how Wagger knew what to look for, Ian! Tsk, tsk.

It's all Google's fault, teacher - not mine! ;-D)) (that's my double chin)

and it is a 'potty' blog.

Oooh! I get the blame now, do I? :-(((

Well done. They'll look lovely planted up.

Can't wait, K'smum! :-))
