...isn't really a flower box at all.
It's actually the screen feeder that we use to feed a variety of our bird and animal friends during the cold New England winter months....
But come May, I reclaim it for the flowers! Of course since it's a screen feeder, I can't put any potting soil in it. So I just set the plants, in their 6-packs, right on top of the feeder.
I'm happy to report that our little female hummer was at the Calibrachoa this afternoon! Mission accomplished!

Last year I set out pink double impatiens, which were gorgeous! This year I decided to try blue and coral Calibrachoa in hopes of attracting hummingbirds!

Oh, what a sweet blog. So lovely. I saw your blog listed on Mockingbird Bird Hill Cottage.
I am loving your window boxes. Pretty flowers! What is that cute/darling little building in the background?
Have a nice evening...Dogwood
What a neat idea, Donna! I'd love to know more about screen feeders. I always want to start some bird feeders here, but we have roaming cats around here and I worry about the birds! Any ideas?

Beautiful idea! I love to see flowers growing just the other side of my window. I would have a flower box outside of all of my windows if I could. Really pretty photos.
I love those little chippies, we have one who lives under our shed now. It's so cute! I love your idea for the flowers over the winter feeder. And your yard looks so pretty. I'm so glad that Spring is finally here, so much to do though!
What a great idea for the birds! Plus I like the fact that you just drop in the 6 pack!! I have seen where you have had hot weather your way, and here we are having rain/cool weather. Usually we are in the high 80s/low 90s at this time of year. Now it is storming so that ends my computer time. My niece had all their electronics fried during a lightening storm, and they had surge protectors!!
