Thanks in advance!


Those are so pretty. That open air place with the hanging plants looks
so nice. I suppose you have to use a long wand to water them. They
have petunias in hanging planters downtown all over, and I was wondering
how they kept them looking so nice & how they water them. They never
seem to get ratty leaves, and I noticed one place near here has some
beautiful purple-veined ones that trail over a wall. They bloomed all
summer and never got ratty looking.

My petunias in a pot were pretty, then the leaves got so ratty looking
even though I cut them back and they kept blooming in spite of it.

I thought those ones could be million bells petunias, but I think the
other poster was probably correct that they are some small type of
morning glory. I might try some ice plant if that is what the first
picture is. I like it and the way it trails.
