OK. Here it is. THe underside of the porch roof gets done next week.

Suggestions of how I can decorate with flowers for the spring, summer, fall are appreciated? Colors? Plants? Anything beyond geraniums?

PS It looks like I’ll have some time to decide. Although I had just traces of snow left at noon, it is snowing hard and it looks like we’ll get several inches. I don’t imagine the garden stores will have any flowers in stock for a while...sarc/off

Cannabis sativa is a good choice but it is more upright in growth habit...

Supertunias. They’re a variety of petunia that grow long vines that spill out nicely.

Hi!

The most classic look would be white and green. Depending on the look you want, verbena, petunia, nastursium, nicotana, candytuft, or any combination of them.

Or you could do some thing with yellow. I think red might get lost.

I love impatiens for urns. I think blue white and/or yellow would all be stunning colors to go with your decor, and depending on where you place the urns.
