{Our Patio Pot Plants}

On April 10 you could read my blog post {Our Patio Tiles Are DONE!} and since that day we have been adding Pot Plants to Our Patio...
This is the kitchen bay window area on April 10...
Moving to the right where you can see the front porch as well.
Pieter has been painting several pots so they better match.
Stepping a little bit closer now.
The white trellis with our Clematis lanuginosa 'Candida' got made by Pieter himself.
Stepping further back towards our white vinyl picket fence you can better see the house.
Here is also an Oxalis patch near the lantern.
So happy to see green leaves on all our trees by now!
The patio starts looking nice with these pot plants.
This photo is taken on April 23, from underneath the huge Dogwood tree's canapy.
You can see the bird feeder hanging down from it.
When stepping back you can also see our squirrel proof bird feeder that will close down access to the bird feed when a squirrel's weight is on its bar. BUT those acrobats hang upside down from its roof and get what they want...
The Japanese style bird bath is also in sight here.
Closer towards the steps to our veranda...
Zooming in on this group of Pot Plants.
The purple one is the Patio Peach that I have shown earlier when it was blooming. See below post.
Our Clematis lanuginosa 'Candida' next to our Bonfire Prunus Persica - Patio Peach
Our front patio also is getting more and more Pot Plants out.
Will follow up when more are added...
Do you like the way they are being added on to the tiles?

    I'm growing catmint in a pot on the deck. They are growing very well but not have had bloom yet. I hope I get to keep them growing until blooms come out :-)

  15. Schön sonnig schaut Euer Haus jetzt aus, liebe Mariette.
    Topfpflanzen habe ich auch ein paar wenige. Aber es sollten keine zu großen mehr sein in zu schweren Töpfen. Später kann man das kräftemäßig alles nicht mehr bewältigen. Und wir können bei uns ohnehin nichts überwintern, denn das Haus ist innen zu warm, selbst der Keller.

    Liebe Grüße auch hier
    Sara

  17. love the grouping of the potted plants. Will you then bring them indoor during the colder months? I have actually always liked that idea for plants who can't stand the cold

    1. Dearest Daniela,
      No, most of these potting plants are winter hardy, so we can leave them outside!
      Hugs,

  18. Liebe Mariette,

    ihr habt es so schön. Eure Topfpflanzen sind natürlich der Hingucker.
    Ich bin ein Fan von Veranden. Leider gibt solche bei unseren Häuser kaum zu sehen.
    Wahrscheinlich bin ich geprägt von den früheren amerikanischen Filmen...wo es diese immer wieder zu sehen gab und ich mich verliebte in Häuser mit einer Veranda.
    Mein Traum wäre ein grosses Gartenhaus mit Veranda zu haben. :-)

    Alles Liebe
    Julia

  20. Dearest Mariette, it is all so welcoming ... loving the potted plants ..such a great way to add colour and texture without doing an in ground garden. I'm making my way back from today's post and can't believe how many fabulous posts I have missed ... It's been a bit overwhelming on this end with all the back in forth between country and city homes, and trying to keep up with everything. The warmer weather makes it a challenge to stay put ... Keeping Pieter in our thoughts and prayers for good health...blessings, Celia M. (HHL)
