Hot Hot Hot!

I wish I could say that about the weather!  I know we had a few days of hot weather but it didn’t last long enough!  When the highs don’t even hit the 70 degree mark in July it makes me feel like summer is already gone.  Even though the temperatures are not hot one of the hottest trends this year is succulent and foliage planters, meaning planters with no flowers.  I know some people are skeptical when you say no flowers but take a look at some of these planters I did this summer at a couple different locations with succulents and foliage.

 

 

What do you think?  A bit different then the “flower” planters, but in my opinion just as beautiful with the contrast of colors and textures.  The biggest advantage to this type of planting is they are very easy to take care of!!  Something to keep in mind if you are getting tired of taking care of your flowers this summer. 🙂
