I’ve seen a number of unusual planters: teacups, bathroom suites, cars, trucks, tyres, socks, handbags, upholstered chairs… if it will hold soil, someone will think of putting plants in it.
This flowerbed from the Chatsworth Flower Show was along the jokey side of those lines. Lupins, foxgloves, geums and the odd delphinium filled to overflowing the inside of a white bed frame that was sweetly embellished with hearts.
The flowers looked far too perky for sleeping – some seemed more on the verge of clambering out – but I suppose as darkness fell and the crowds left, things could have changed.

Flowerbed!! Hilarious! This may be the most beautiful pun I’ve ever seen! I salute its creator!
Certainly the most flowery one.
And that is a truly delightfully bright square.
They’re just wayward enough to be pretty.
Very clever! 🙂
A midsummer night’s dream 🙂
A fun ideaand so pretty.
The bed seems a little bit too good to be in a garden.
A good picture. You may remember that our weeping birch tree had an old bed end screwed to its trunk when we arrived. It was v very difficult to extract
I imagine it was relieved to have been set free. The tree, not the bed!
Not exactly a bed of roses, but then it´s so pretty!
