"This is a very pretty large-leaf Coleus that hangs in my terracotta upside-down pot. It's located on the east side of my house on a porch overlooking our beautiful Blue Ridge Mountains in the Shenandoah Valley."

Lois Overton
Thetford Center, VT

"This begonia hangs from our front porch and attracts the attention of everyone who sees it. I planted the tuber in May 2011. It bloomed all summer and in the fall I ordered the stand and brought the pot inside. This spring the begonia was pretty leggy, but I cut it back and put it back on the porch. Look what happened! I've never seen so many blooms on a begonia. I can't wait to see what it looks like in 2013! "

Donna A. Smith
Medford, OR

"This is a jade plant that I've had in my down under pot for several years, with a variegated jade plant in the top of the pot. I hang it in our front entrance in the summer months and in the greenhouse in the winter. I get more compliments on this plant than I do on any other of my plants (even my hayracks that I also got from Kinsman)."
