New Creations From a Window Box Expert

Hi GPODers!
Today’s submission is short and sweet, but when I saw these photos pop up in the GPOD inbox I recognized the design aesthetic instantly and knew I had to share. If you’ve been following Garden Photo of the Day for a while, you might remember Howard Nemeroff’s window box through the seasons. (If you need a refresher, check it out here.). Over three years ago he shared his over-the-top designs, and today he’s finally back with more creations that might be even more impressive than the first.
Maybe if we can get enough comments on this post, Howard will be influenced to send us more photos of his creations (no pressure, Howard, but pretty pretty please?). Until then, enjoy these three incredible concoctions.
This design is so enchanting and whimsical it glows, literally. In winter we often work hard to bring little pieces of greenery and nature inside, but this window box flips that notion and gives the illusion that nature is bursting out from indoors. Evergreen clippings of all shapes, forms, and textures explode from this window and really make you wonder how anyone can think winter plantings are dull.
A more traditional take on winter arrangements is no less mesmerizing. Blue and purple berries look like shining gems among the cascades of green.
Finally, spring brought a colorful refresh. Bunches of begonias (Begonia hybrid, annual) pair so perfectly with variegated flax lily (Dianella tasmanica ‘Variegata’, annual) and Yellow Ripple ivy (Hedera ‘Yellow Ripple’, annual).
Has Howard inspired you to install some window boxes? Or maybe try something new in your container plantings this year? Large or small, we’d love to see what you’re potting up this season!
Have photos to share? We’d love to see your garden,

Why you need to know where your plants came from
Right plant, right place, as Roy Lancaster’s book taught us, is a well-known adage and one we all try to live by. Get it right and your garden will love you for it. On closer inspection that phrase belies a whole historical context that is not evident at first sight. I was reminded recently of the stark fact that most of the plants we have in our gardens are from somewhere else. From Asia, the Antipodes, South Africa, to the Americas and continental Europe, these continents have supplied us for centuries with plants that fill our green spaces. Many are now so familiar and yet two hundred plus years ago they arrived as exotic specimens, delighting the Victorians and their predecessors.

6 Signs You Need New Dishes ASAP, According to Pros
It doesn't matter if you purchased your dishes with the intention of keeping them forever; after all, even the best-made plates, mugs, bowls, and beyond will need to be replaced eventually. So don't feel bad about parting ways with pieces in your collection if they're just not serving you anymore, whether that's due to a changing personal aesthetic or increased signs of wear and tear.
