Amy said...

WOW! I love this pic!!Whose hiking boots are so lucky to have pretty pansies in them?!

Denise said...

So clever!!!! I love the use of the boots for these pretty pansies.

Naturegirl said...

Great idea! Creative thinking!Why throw away those hiking boots when the pansies can dress then up!

Digital Flower Pictures said...

I know somebody who would love a 'pair' of these. Thanks for the idea.

I love BC you are lucky to live there. Prince Rupert is my favorite but I am usually visiting Stewart when in your neck of the woods.

What a wonderful way to pot them! Pansies are one of my favorites.

What unique flower pots. I think they do a great job of showing off the pansies.

Very beautiful photos! We just came back from two weeks in the Canadian Rockies and loved it. Spent a few days in Vancouver and prefer it to Seattle by a long shot.

Arija said...

I guess its hard to step into your shoes - LOL.
You've got summer weather and I have winter storms and my Pasies look just as battered as yours.

I am going to steal this idea for a planter! I have an African Violet that has already outgrown its planter four times and is ready to be split again. I think that my husband has an old pair of work boots that should work the same way as these climbing boots. I'll take a picture and post it on my blog when I transplant the violets. :)
