here's what i planted in the "flower bed":

1 white oleander behind the headboard

3 white zinnias


purple fountain grass. ruella - purple showers mexican petunia. purple fountain grass



2 yellow knockout roses




2 purple agapanthus




4 purple somethings!!!! there was no tag on the pots!!! they look like bluebonnets, but they're not



a scattering of red, orange, & yellow zinnias




looks like a quilt!!!!

i'm going to plant irises in galvanized tubs on each side to look like "nightstands"

my sister in law gave me this old window shelf - i'm painting it & then i'm gonna sand & stain it & hang it on the fence. i'll take a picture of the finished "room" when i get it up.





i'm loving my "flower bed room"!!!!!

Looking so good! I hope you have a "flowerbed-room" party when it's done!

or you can plant some cherry tomatos as the "nightstands" and instead of turning out the "lights", you just pick tomatos!
