Revisiting Hollister House, one has to wonder if Geoge Schoellkopf chose this stunning pot or the color on his house’s shutters first. However it happened, the color echo is wonderful. On top of that, the plants echo the house color! I have a feeling the house color came first there…

    Ok - at first I wasn't seeing it but after reading the comments I too like the cobblestones and the color of the pot. I think tho that the planting is too short for the size of that pot and looks a little lost.
