another garden nook

I love teaming up plants, and terracotta figures. And that's what I do here. You'll see ferns, Dracaena, spider plant and foliage (that turns purple at cooler temperatures) in the picture. Next, accommodated the frog and the tortoise planters to complete the picture.

    These Terracotta figures are my favourites too and I love experimenting with them in my garden. Your garden corner looks cool!!
    Happy gardening

    Another nice arrangement! I think that's a coleus. Did you meant for the frog to hide under the plant? Cool!

    @Stephanie: Actually that frog figure is meant to be planter. I intend to keep it partially hidden until I find an interesting plant to fit into it...

    @Darla: Thanks for stopping by...

    I like this garden nook. It wouldn't be the same without Mr.Frog.

    How interesting... a frog planter. Oh btw, that could be Perilla and not Coleus :-)

    @Stephanie: Yeah, it's a perilla...easily confused with coleus since it's so colorful and showy.
