It must be new stock and they are back in fashion, so I visited a few local nurseries. Nothing. The usual stuff, not one nice bowl. I could understand them being more expensive, or less sizes, but nothing.
Thankfully I bought one on my road trip which is now all planted up with alpines. It doesn't look that bad does it? So come on London, get your act together and start stocking some nice bowls!
Gorgeous bowl!... Seems like u need a trip to the states... lots of bowls here...
ReplyDeleteThank you. Hope you make the most of them.
Deletethe place i go to, they make a trip to Mexico and bring back loads of bowls... I've got some that have an 'zen' look as well as the colorful hand painted ones... my favorite are the cobalt blue ones...I will say, u definitely know how to arrange your succulents well in those bowls!.
DeleteGreat points on lack of containers - here in Albuquerque, that is true, too. And the few who do use containers / bowls / pots often use low annuals only in them, nothing stunning like we can do!
ReplyDeletePerhaps it's provincialism and getting stuck in not exploring the better garden possibilities? (hearing London do that helps me not feel so bad, since a saying in the US is, London today = New York in 10 years, the rest of the US in 20 years!)
Strange that you find the same, it obviously is a regional thing everywhere.
