I'd call that a bargain. The best I ever had.
As gardeners we get divisions of plants from friends, wait for sales at our favorite haunts and hover at sites like Craigslist and Freecycle to try and luck into great deals, but this goes above and way, way beyond.
Purchased for $10 at a local nursery. As I checked out everyone in the place asked me about it, including the staff. It was like the Topiary Frame Gods were smiling on just me.
I planted white sweet pea seeds at her base but haven't seen anything yet, I think I'll plant Dichondra 'Silver Falls' in her basket when I get a chance.
What do you think? Have a better deal to tell me about? Think I'm nuts? Tell me about it in Le Forum.
