As a container gardener, I'm pretty boring when it comes to my plant pots. Give me some aged terra cotta pot and a pretty plant, and I'm in heaven! But I've been noticing a lot of really interesting containers recently - bright colors, different shapes, and even Medusa statues with burro's tail growing out of them like hair! Maybe I should broaden my horizons and go wild with my planters! I've compiled 10 of the most interesting plant pots I've seen recently. What do you think? What's the wildest container you've ever seen? Make sure to like BalconyContainerGardening.com on Facebook and share a picture or two!

This past weekend, if you went to South Coast Plaza mall in Costa Mesa, you were in a gardener's paradise! Huge crowds showed up for the 25th Annual Southern California Spring Garden Show (read more about the show here). At many of the 70 specialty vendors that set up shop at the 4-day show, there were orchids for sale. Check out these beautiful orchid photos from last weekend's Spring Garden Show. Many of them were as fragrant as they were beautiful!
