It's too bad they won't be making ceramic planters anymore, but I thought I read that they will continue to make fiberglass ones. I hope they'll make the same styles, because I love their big cylindrical pots and the round flat ones.<br /><br />I guess ceramic pots will eventually go the way of the dinosaur, especially the ones for outdoors, since they don't hold up to weather like the fiberglass ones do. I'd think they'd be cheaper to make than fiberglass, but maybe not. I'm sure they're not more economical to handle and ship, as heavy and breakable as they are, so maybe that's one reason manufacturers are abandoning them. As much as I love vintage ceramics, I have to admit that it really is easier for me to move big resin or fiberglass pots around on my patio. When I can find pretty ones, I really prefer them.Dana@Mid2Modhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03055460107477850683noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9087940973013594269.post-16806918388199559962013-01-18T09:19:19.361-06:002013-01-18T09:19:19.361-06:00I'm still trying to decide if I want a single ...I'm still trying to decide if I want a single tall cactus or a spindly dracaena in it or something that trails.Dana@Mid2Modhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03055460107477850683noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9087940973013594269.post-49792437418521709282013-01-18T09:03:51.035-06:002013-01-18T09:03:51.035-06:00Haha, your giving in to this temptation is complet...Haha, your giving in to this temptation is completely justified.
