Potted Plants

The tall Jatropha plant in the center of this pot is new to us this year. We have seen it growing in the Galveston area before during the heat of summer and it looked great. The shade of red goes so well with the red Geraniums and the Dragon Begonias. Planting containers is such fun. Not only do you have to think about the colors you like together but also whether the plants have the same cultural rquirements. Do they like the same amount of sun and water? It is usually the goal to create a combination that will last the whole summer. When you get it right it is always a thrill.
