I've never see the likes of such before! The Cobra Lily, is magnificent!

I have such a weakness for hanging plants/flowers, that, and garden urns filled with arrangements.

Thanks for this, Tussie.

Those are amazing! Of course, I want some but I cannot wrap my head around the how... How do you maintain them? Seems like those are inside, so what do the floors underneath look like?

Love the last one. Really like your idea Mrs. M. Of having them above a sink since they will drip after watering...

ours are outside. :) cheaper than hanging baskets. I used annuals. It's that time of year again. DS loves this project. The hardest part was finding the right clay.

Zoe, how do you make up yours?

you mix clay and soil, you put that around the root-ball (you shake most of the dirt from the pot off of it first). you then wrap it in moss and tie it around and around with string (no pattern necessary). and then we actually tied that off, and then tied a long, second piece of string to two parts of the "ball" of string, and then hung it by a little hook in the "greenhouse."

I used petunias, primrose, and pansies, btw.

Though, we might try some herbs along with those annuals this year.

Yes, Kay I bet your cat would have such a good time with these, probably not so great for you though. Maybe you could hang cat toys from them? :)
