Trying to dream up a simple or mammoth size container garden plan can be overwhelming... even for the seasoned gardener.
It might even be a great idea to print off the pictures when headed to the nursery to buy your flowers. Some of the photos will have the names of the flowers, while some will not.
Flower gardening in container gardens is truly a joy. So whether it's space issues as the motive...or, if you're like me, the sheer beauty of a well done container always catches your eye...
We hope you find many ideas for container gardening through this eye-pleasing array of flower pictures!
If you run across pictures of flowers that are not labeled, please use the Comment Link and help us identify the flowers. We thank you in advance.
Below are only a couple of examples, but there are plenty more if you just click on any of the Photo Page links below.
These garden photos are sure to inspire you and make you want
to plant, plant, plant!
The container garden picture below is a prime example of less is more. The two primary "bright" colors of this array are only yellow and the purple of the Purple Coneflower.
Most would think... "that's not going to be enough." Ah, but rest assured... it is. The striking blue of the garden container would be enough of a contrast to offset the natural beauty of the flowers.
With the picture above, notice how the overall color of the container design is green. However, with the small hints of blues, purples, and reds, the display is brought to life. The bluish tints in the container itself, serve as a great colorful accent!
Never be afraid to use the color of the gardening containers as part of your container garden design.
