Years later, I encountered another Queen of Pots, Deborah Silver, below.
.
She put me into a new chapter.
Deborah's take on pots made me realize, "Perhaps I've been harming myself, by only doing 'my' Queens Pots." Harm? Embracing the seasons, in honor & thanks. Enjoying hunting/gathering, assembling.
My Queen's Pot, above, so wonderful it can be empty. or planted.
.
Deborah took my theme, and didn't 'plant' in the traditional sense. She creates exterior floral arrangements withstanding 'weather', for months. Seeing her pots, why-didn't-I-think-of-that?
.
Bottom line? Choose pots so wonderful they can remain empty all year, AND you have a choice of adding an exterior floral arrangement.

Garden & Be Well, XO Tara

Two of my Favorites.
You are two "fellow queens"!! Tah dah!!!!!!
Both brilliant and different!!!
I love the first pot in your post. It has dimensions I'm not accustomed to seeing in a winter arrangement. Inspirational indeed!
Tara, since living in Maine,
every November when making garlands,
I also put cut evergreens and holly in my window boxes
and all the big pots in the yard.
and pots at entry. It fills in the empty feeling.

The winter pots, full of beauty, are as appealing, perhaps more appealing, than when full of live flowers. The first photo is especially fetching, Tara.
Nothing to do with gorgeous pots, but have you seen this site? Dozens of city people who chose farm life, from the ridiculous to the sublime.
