Renanthera Bartholomew Motes in new Pot!!!

[peeweelovesbooks]

Hey everyone!!

I'm in love!! Ever since I started buying Renantheras, I knew that I did not want to keep them in baskets, but rather pot them up and just watch them grow. I wanted something pretty and unique, but not too plain. I also didn't want anything in color to compete with the colors of the blooms. So, after I decided to buy naked clay, the design was the problem...too modern, too sleek, too BIG!! Too expensive!!

I went to Isaac Farms here in Homestead today and THIS is what I saw. I fell in love immediately and I think my army of fat Aztecs will make my garden something not so serious. Kind of like a nod to my culture. It's about 12 inches tall and ROUND. Sort of like Botero-ish. LOLOLOLOL The label said "Indio Gordito."

I love them.

Here is the picture of the pot, and my Renanthera Bartholomew Motes. I have to buy A LOT more black lava rock!! Sigh!!
