Your containers look beautiful. My containers are mostly sedums for the same ease of watering reasons. Love the idea of using broms though. I always enjoy seeing how you combine the plantings.

The bromeliads certainly are one of my favorites for ease of care, although we did spend extra time this summer keeping the cups filled as the bees loved drinking from within.

Hi Meems, we have all those plants here too, so i love those blue planters more. They are even glazed making them look more expensive. Procrastinating and not dividing the plants sooner is also one of my not-so-good traits. ...but i really love your containers! haha

great ideas, but of course you first must have (be able to afford) those beautiful cobalt container pots! they make a statement of their own, even without plantings!

Never occurred to me to put broms in containers, but what a great idea! There are so may unusual and vividly colored bromeliad varieties to try. Also appreciate the suggestions for companion plants.

Doing this project reminded me of the days when I switched out all the container plants every season. It would provide a colorful flair appropriate to the season. It was great

Getting around to redoing my containers is on my list as well. Ready for some fall colors around here. I do wish I could grow bromeliads outdoors year round. Well, the Queen's Tears stays out but that about it.
