Those look *wonderful*. Are the white baskets planted up with petunias?
They look too big to be Bacopa. I think that a container with just one type
of plant in it can be amazingly effective and those certainly are.

They are actually Surfinas same as Petunia I think? I have manged to
keep Surfinas, sometimes, from one year to another by cutting them
right down to a few stems, keeping almost dry and frost free and then
feeding and growing on in the Spring. I also find that they take
excellent cuttings, one Surfina plant can give me dozens of cuttings
but I believe that strictly speaking, one is not allowed to do this?
