Mister Moss + Happy Friday!

So I keep running into string gardens this week –and these gorgeous ones can't go without mentioning. Spotted in the latest issue of Inside Out Magazine, Mister Moss (out of Australia) makes some pretty colorful ones that he actually sells online.  I love the bright fluro strings and the Yucca above (with the painted stem) –a perfect patio/balcony plant idea.  See a few more pics below –the cherry blossoms on the balcony would be perfect right now and check out that stunning display for a wedding.  More at mister-moss.com.

Check out this post from earlier this week with a link on how to make them!

Hopes of Spring

I know we probably have a few months of spring rain to get through here in the Pacific Northwest, but I can't help but take a peek at what is new in the garden world –especially after experiencing what was such a spring-like weekend. February always does that to us here –we get that hint of spring, the crocus and daffodils are show their heads, and hopes of summer draw us in. So how fitting then to come across these beautiful Amphoral pots made in Vietnam over at Flora Grubb Gardens this past weekend. The beautiful patina-like glaze is part of a four-part process which makes them look hundreds of years old.  Don't they go amazingly with the subdued succulent colours?  More info here.
