I would have bought that planter in a New York second.

I really do usually stay away from them (unless they're fifty cents each and I buy them just for the joy of hurling them against a boulder) but I think you'd agree that this is a particularly egregious form. Shown recently (yesterday for Colleen) but can you get enough Mother Goose funky visuals, I ask you?

You're plant's a Gasteraloe, I think, an intergeneric hybrid btw. Aloe aristata (?) and a Gasteria.

Linda,

Moo!

Ryan,
Right you are, and the first rule is you can't talk about Tacky Pot Club.

katluvr, do you have an ID for that lavender lovely on the left (not the Sedum, obviously)? I ask because I have the same plant, and no ID.

After these clowns have their public viewing here, they'll be planted a little differently, lol.

A pair of yard sale tennies.

The first was jaw-dropping (that's some, as we say in Scrabble, effective rack management), the second I've seen before (they had a nice small Peniocereus....just kidding - I'm sure it was a Pilosocereus), the shoes, OMG - makes me want to watch 'Moulin Rouge' in them! - what fantastical planters and plantings.

I guess I'd look sad, too.

Nice pots there - you could use a few in a show, I'm sure. I try to limit myself to whimsical, and I now want to enter a dachshund planter spilling over with Dudleya pachyphytum into a major cactus show - it's a pity I didn't think of it sooner.

ILTG,

That frog looks just like Winston Churchill, but without the cigar.

Denise,

I guess she's not old enough yet for discocactus?

kat,

That's some pretty NWC for sure - I'll bet it looks great year around.

Thanks Jeff, they look kinda sad right now tho.

The plants in the wall planter are sedums. The common name is pork and beans.

This little birdhouse guy is mocking the bad grammar on the highway sign that I made into a canopy. It stops the rain running off the roof from beating the soil out of the pots below. I found him at Home Goods and painted him to look more like terra cotta.

These cute ladies show up at the thrift stores once in a while. They end up drilled and planted like everything else here, and are standing in old cd racks.

These are wine coolers, aka wine bricks or wine crocks. I find them at yard sales and thrift stores. Also drilled and planted. The racks they're sitting in were thrown in the dumpster by the hundreds when a video store near here closed. They're hooked to the wrought iron fence and sit on the bricks.

You have some idea of what it's like to forget a hunk of Kalanchoe and have it grow into a plant, I know. It's when it flowers that it really surprises you. You see the Euphorbia below - that happened overnight in Spring Valley, CA.
