Last year in the "what junque do you use for container planting" thread, I was inspired to dig my robins egg blue bidet out of the weeds and clean it out.
After many suggestions, months of indecision and hours of shopping for plants, I stuffed some in it rather than put it back in the weeds.
Plant choices were pretty but wasn't quite what I was looking for. I combined crown of thorns in yellow with a cluster of blackberry lilies in peachy orange. The taller purple foliage and blooms of wheatstick celosia made it look like a spewing purple fountain at a distance and the trailers were (pleasantly) fragrant trailing purple petunias... Unfortunately the petunias played out early in the heat when this photo was taken and the purple celosia is in the background.
Not quite what I had in mind but is was pretty...
