Hangin' flower-baskets

Hiya. I think the greenhouse needs a bit o' sprucing up, so here is my idea - hanging flowerbaskets! Look great, especially if you know what flowers and colours go where. I got all this from this website.

ABOUT THE BASKET
"1. Size - too big and it will detract from the rest of your garden. Too small and it could get lost.
2. Weight - and structure required - when the hanging basket is complete and the flowers are blooming profusely, will it still be able to be supported?
3. Location - full-sun, part-shade, full-shade? Plus, will it be knocked about by the prevailing afternoon wind?
4. Longevity - will the hanging basket last longer than one season?
5. Maneuverability - in relation to the Size and Weight issues is whether this planter is able to moved by yourself or will it require a small team of weightlifters to prop it in place?
6. Material - will it need a liner or is it already lined? Will you need anything else to start this project?"

Oh, and people, please note a man made this up.

"Plant choice is paramount to making this project a success. You will find that the location of your planter will depend entirely upon which plants you choose. It's no good purchasing shade lovers if they're sitting in full-sun all day and vice versa."



But I also found this website - very helpful indeed! It is rather long, so please click on the link provided.






Using this idea, maybe this:





Could turn to be this:


Now, MY manual -

Colour!
Nothing is more important than the colours you choose to have in your garden. As you may already know, greens go well with scarlet,deep blue mixes sweetly with soft yellows and firey oranges partner brilliantly with a hardcore purple. So, lets see what the plants have to say:


Told you so!

Please also note this was all done with love and care by... ME! I think hanging baskets would really benifit to the greenhouse, please oh please oh pleeeeease Mr Woody?

Love to y'all,
