What I did last year - (havent planted mine up yet this year - yet - will do so tomorrow) Anyways - what I did last year was I went to the second hand shop and purchased a bunch of big baskets - I brought them home and had my husband spray paint them with - I think it was Krylon paint - so they looked brand new. Planted them up and this was last years basket idea. I have 5 of them on my front step every year.

Those are very pretty combos you put together. What were the tiny white flowers? They look like a flock of doves in flight. The violas are a beautiful color. Very nice.
