Million Bells and Pink Geraniums for Window Boxes


Some years, the plants in the window boxes don't look that great.

This year, I was more than happy with the three kinds of flowers chosen-----pink million bells, pink geraniums and vinca vines.


The bells have a funny story to them.

 When looking for them, I kept asking clerks if they had any "Million dollar bells. "  No one did.

Guess I had a million dollars on my mind! ha!

 Finally, one clerk said, "I don't have 'million dollar bells' but I have 'million bells.' "  Duh. So I bought them.

 They have spread out nicely. One of my green thumbed sisters suggested the bells and vinca vines. 

They hang way down in the middle of the boxes and I love them.

As a matter of fact, we had them last year, too, and we wintered them over in the house! They survived.

So that's it.  Million bells minus the dollars, pink geraniums and vinca vines. They have been a perfect combination.

DO YOU HAVE WINDOW BOXES AT YOUR PLACE? IF YES, WHAT DO YOU PLANT IN THEM?
