This post is in response to a request from a reader who wanted to see more containers from the garden I wrote about last week. You ask, Micky, I deliver. The above container, in a hot, sunny spot, was appropriately planted with succulents and portulaca.

A more formal arrangement, with white mandevilla and alyssum.

More containers, holding succulents.

Finally, in a shady spot, an attractive window box brings some color to the otherwise gray and black palette.

I’ll post photos of other containers when I write about the rest of the gardens on the tour.
