Photo of a Phormium in a pink pot (for Kazz)


Here is my painted pink pot - actually the colour is Roasted Red and was left over from interior house decorations. Just roughed up the surface of a plastic pot, painted with an undercoat of acrylic paint and two coats of the red paint, then a top coat of polyurethane varnish. I thought the red matched the leaf margin rather well.

The Phormium is cookianum subsp. hookeri Tricolor

Sorry Kazz - didn't mean the plant and the pot is for you, as well you know. It was the photos that were for you

Not sure the plant would travel very well and would cost an arm and a leg to post
