In spring we plant a lot of annuals in pots on the deck.  These plants are perennials - don't ask me what they are.  I was going for a zen effect in this pot.  You can see that the predominant colour around here is green, green, green.  the annuals give us some nice contrast.  Here's a nice burst of spring and summer colour to give temporary relief for the December blahs.....

Oops.  Green again.
