After my garden open on Saturday, I decided to go visit another garden on Sunday and do a little retail therapy. Air-conditioned stores are a great place to spend a 90 degree day.
This rather large ceramic doughnut made me laugh out loud and since it was on a clearance table, it had to be mine. It's designed to hang on a wall and has a slot so that it could be used as a coin bank. (for doughnut money perhaps?)
Then I thought of this cup and saucer planter that had been sitting, unused for years, in the greenhouse.
After a day of fun in the sun, I was as tired as this normal-sized teapot would be trying to fill such a large cup.
Here's the foliage-follow-up part. I have Heuchera 'Sweet Tea' in the ground that would have been perfect but instead H 'Forever Red' which was still in it's nursery pot had to stand in.
Stopping by the Everything shop to pick up some groceries on the way home, the potted lilies were marked down to less than one would pay for a bulb so a few had to come home with me. Maybel they'll actually get put in the ground. Anyway they joined the party.
After doing a bit of planting, a potted begonia took the place of the heuchera and lilies and I was ready to sit down for a while but where?

Here in a favorite chair? Hmmm. I guess size does matter.
