We nearly spit out our water when we saw these hilarious planters posted by KatG on HGTV's RateMySpace site. The rest of her garden is also worth checking out, with baskets of succulents, large planters of tropical varieties and an enclosed pool cage. A great example of container-style gardening.

I'm in love. I think there should be surprises all over your house (and your person) that crack you up.
I have never been so tempted to start working with hypertufa.

i want to add some stylish accessories to their "hair"!!
i love when people inject humor into their homes like this

I bought one of these for my mom a few years ago from Smith and Hawken in Connecticut... not sure if they still sell them... they're great!

And the perfect plant for that is, of course, the brain cacti:

No, my name is NOT Lector. Why is everyone looking at me and this baby head planter with brain cactus strangely?
Absolutely beautiful...such an eclectic and magical place.
oy vey - seeing the baby head planter sans flowers coming out of is kinda strange and off-putting
but once the beautiful foliage grows enough that would look really cute...i can see that with beautiful flowers on some tables for a garden baby shower party. very sweet
This reminds me of that tv commercial thats on tv right now where a girl finds unusual objects to plant stuff in. She ended up with bowling balls, mannequin heads, and a whole bunch of weird containers. I think it was some sort of ad for power tools...or maybe it was a credit card ad. Hmmmm.
those are frightening. i'm slightly disappointed that the eyes are not glowing.
