Pretty pots for pretty plants

Sometime before Christmas, we did some brick-paving for a couple. The husband had had a motor-cycle accident and was six weeks in hospital. The good news is that he is now walking a little but facing more operations on his knee.
After finishing paving a garden path, we were given gift vouchers to Bunnings, a huge hardware franchise. I kept telling people I’d be buying a pretty plant pot with my voucher – and Vince would be buying one too.
We ended up with the pots that you can see in the photo. There are three stacked one on top of the other. I’m not sure what I’ll plant in them yet. They will brighten up the garden a little I hope. Plans are now taking shape to finish off a ‘conversation area’ but we’re waiting for some cooler weather.

@JudyEv I'm sure whatever you choose will look lovely in those pots.

@JudyEv Cold colours? I don't know it it's cold or what, but I love blue and green. But not all blue and green too. If the blue is too bright, I don't like it. Somewhere like sky blue, like the umm.... tequilla blue? Something like that. has the combination around blue, light blue, green, light green.

That is a neat alliteration you have attempted in your post
By the look of it they do not seem to be made of clay?

@JudyEv I am not discouraging you but clay pots breathe which is necessary for the soil.

@allknowing Yes, I did know that but I forgot when I was buying them. We'll just have to see what happens.

Geraniums do well here; also succulents and cacti but I'm not so keen on them.

Lovely flower pots. I have the clay ones but don't have the energy to dig mud and plant some flowers which I want to.

@aninditasen Oh what a shame. Puppies can be very naughty.

I think so too. I just have to work out where to put them and what to plant in them.
