In Guatemala last week I came across many many places using white pots of the same form. I like that form. One last comment - love the final photo of the bay. Reminds me of here on Lake Michigan - except I can not see the other side of the lake here - it is 75 miles across at this point - more like an ocean.

That view is divine. I keep meaning to ask why is it called False Bay? Great idea to plant scented plants under the washing.

We wanted to screen various windows. I suggested the trellis. In places we've added a second overlapping layer. It allows light and the breeze thru but does gives some seclusion.

I especially love the cobalt blue pot, it's height giving the focus you want in your garden. The notes about bees are very interesting. I had no idea that perennial basil (or borage) was something that bees wanted more than other things. I always do have basil in the yard, and now I'll add to it with a perennial variety.
