With a sunny day off work I started to paint up the planters......+ the
Shira' very close to leaf and looking good.

Diarmuid would be proud of you! And a super pic of the resident
insectivore as bonus. (Of course, I find clothes pegs last longer and
stay cleaner if you bring them in every time...)

Tell me, Don, how many pottings-on did you do to get the Shira -- a
gorgeous thing, and looking *very* good -- into its present home (at a
guess, about 20 litres, I suppose)? Or was it quite big when you got
it?
