    I have two hanging ones that have(or had) fushias in it... In front of the house along the walk, there are five plastic planters... One each with a ground fushia, glad bulbs, hydrangea, cala lilly, and one with mini dalias.... I hope the majority of those come back... I then have a cedar planter that has my dwarf lilac tree... It was given to me from my MIL and her mom after my mom passed.....

    Remember I live in an old farm house --- some of my planters are old enamel-ware chamber pots that I found discarded on the place. Others are: an old cast aluminum tea kettle and a coal hod/bucket; a half whisky barrel in the yard; and several large flower pots on the porches.

    I have all kinds of containers with plants in them! I use mostly clay ones though.

    I have about 20 hanging baskets that are made of wire/steel and coconut fibre, an antique enamel baby's bath and 40 or so terracotto and ceramic pots.

    I have several dozen old tires I plant in plus varied pots that we've scavenged here and there.
