Revisiting Hollister House, one has to wonder if Geoge Schoellkopf chose this stunning pot or the color on his house's shutters first. However it happened, the color echo is wonderful. On top of that, the plants echo the house color! I have a feeling the house color came first there...

sheilaschultz writes: The shutters and the pot blend so well together, love the colors. Aside from that, this pot has the perfect shape for planting. The straight, up and down sides make for very easy transplanting. Posted: 4:21 pm on December 1st
wittyone writes: That is such a beautiful soft color. The rhyming pattern of the bricks and the pedestal and pot also create a lot of harmony. Oh, and the chartreuse of the moss on the bricks goes so nicely with the blue of the pot.

Whoever came up with this whole scheme was really thinking! Posted: 10:08 am on December 1st
