It's rare someone changes my mind, and getting their result includes 'more' money, time, effort.
.
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.
.
.

.
.
Why are Deborah's pots so incredible? At their core, is a transcendence.
.
.
.
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.
