Smilin'

Despite gray skies, wind and rain, everyone's smilin' as new additions appear in the patio garden of the tranquil Province of MulticoloredPieces.

The variegated green tiles come from a box of left over tiles used in our kitchen decor over thirty years ago. I felt that the box had sat forgotten in a corner of the garden long enough.

If this should seem to be a repetitive use of green, I'd like to express my theory on plant containers. They exist to enhance plants, yet, the plants should enhance the pot as well. Plant and container should work together. And if possible, the container should be made of recycled materials. I've seen some marvelously colored pots, however, they didn't quite work with the plants. Eventually, I'll work in some soft blues and yellows, depending on the tiles I find. 
                  The steps going up to the roof could not remain unadorned.

And as there are enough tiles for a few more pots, 

I may make it to the top of the stairs.

                                               Another new arrival:

The lovely green tiles that have such depth of color came from the trash pile of an apartment complex where someone renovated their kitchen. 

I remember when the apartments were built some thirty-five years ago. The tiles were made in Spain. Such treasures!

And the bidet planter begins to look less like a bathroom fixture and more like an elegant patio accessory.
