"First Use........"

My daughter, Claire, gave us this bike plant stand a couple of years ago for Christmas.  We'd not used it until now because last year, for whatever reason (I think it was me being lazy), we only had plants in the railing deck planters and no other pots outside.  I'm glad its debut was here at our new house and think it looks perfect on the front porch.  I also haven't been able to have geraniums in awhile either due to so much shade at the Gregory St. house.  It's a nice change.  ;)  By the way, the potted coleus is from a plant that Don received as a gift over 30 years ago!  He has been taking cuttings from it a couple of times each year, rooting them in water, and transplanting them into pots, so we have a continuous supply of fresh new plants.  Several of our friends in Madison have taken plants from him and have been doing the same.  The boy has quite the green thumb, wouldn't you agree?  :)

Nice plant stand, great with the new home and easily moved indoors if threat of frost. Amazing about the coleus!
