What to plant in the toilet?
 

No not the one inside the house silly.

I mean a defunct one, out in the yard as a decorative accent of
course. A planter, potted plant...

What plant would not only look good in the white comode but also have
an inside joke or wry wit?

Hmmm...St John's Wort?

My knowledge base is small...

Something with obvious thorns. Something spiky. Maybe a cactus sticking
straight up in the middle would make some people cringe.

Will this be an annual? Or a perennial? What zone are you in?

I would block the outflow pipe and grow Bog plants

That would be my response lol.

If you don't get winter, you're probably OK. Otherwise, you might have
to consider that the trap in the toilet will hold water and thereby be
susceptible to cracking the ceramic when you get freezing temperatures.

Also, most plants' roots require air as well as water, so they need some
drainage in their pots.

Pee-tunias actually look good in one. Plant not only the bowl but the tank
as well.

Thanks Warren,

I generally prefer perennials and self seeding annuals.

I do have some cactus in pots that could use a change of venue.
And it would work for my location, the very last line in my orginal
post was "Near Vegas, zone 9ish."

Thanks

Bog! I love it! Hmmm perhaps I could stick it in my pond instead.

I'm going to have to "ponder" this one.

Winters are very mild here.

Thanks for mentioning the trap. Maybe this is my chance to try out
one of my ceramic/glass drills. Or what if I just puddled some strong
acid to eat out the bottom of the trap. Actually this makes me
wonder what would happen if I etched away the hard smooth outer layer.

Would I then have something like a Chia toilet?

Thanks!

Hmmm....the tank! See this time I just have the bowl.

Oh man, I'm in trouble. Now I want a tank too!

Thanks Red!

Not sure where I saw it, but someone sprayed his car with adhesive, then
grass seed. Maybe you could use that concept.
