Love how the downward arc of the plant materials counters the upward curve of the railing's pattern.

Hey, can I enter one of my neighbors without their knowledge??

(and by the way, this window box is - sorry, don't anyone gag, i really mean it sincerely - simple yet elegant.)

I love how the trailing flowers work with the wrought iron railing.

pphillipp- I didn't read the rules or anything, but something SOMEWHERE said something about "your favorite" or something. As if, when you walk around your neighborhood, something you like.

What unfortunate wording of that last post. I shall never again post in here until the last drop of my coffee cup is drained from it's styrofoam home.

Wow! The kind words have really made my day.

There are so many beautiful flowerboxes in this city, and there should be more.
