Deborah Silver is the florist of planting outdoor pots. She changed my mind.
.
Prior to Deborah I was content to not plant my pots, just as the Queen, and Queen Mother, did not plant their pots. Once I saw their royal pots I knew, A Pot Must Be So Wonderful It Can Remain Empty. Dubbed, The Queen's Pot.
.
Then comes Deborah. Queen of Pots, 2.0 .

More. Worse? Deborah makes me want to plant my pots during an 'off' season, fall.

More than 'pretty', Deborah's pots share her exuberance for life, in each permutation.

For years she's shared her seasonal pots, and how to create them.

These pots, all above/below, use the shape of the pot, with the shape of their 'arrangements'. Creating a new florist arena.

By now, your eye, studying Deborah's pots, has already noted, I'm sure, it's not specific plants she uses, but their shapes, colors, and contrasts to each other, along with scale, form, flow.

Perhaps the best ingredient in all of the pots, above/below, is the element of pure FUN.

My eyes are already calibrated to hunting/gathering phase for pot planting. Of course my eyes are calibrated to Deborah's instructions.

Thought you would like to have the same fun too.

I've never seen anything like these! They are fun. I'll take the second one, please!
I have admired Deborah's work for years, especially her planters and urns. She always inspires me.
Thank you for sharing some of her beautiful work.
