Here's the finished product (though just planted, so things look a bit ragged...)

Looking down a bit from above:

You can see in the pic with Corinne how it's a big metal rod. It has a base which sits in the bottom pot, and then you just add your pots. I chose slightly different sizes than they suggest, since I fell in love with these colorful pots. My mom got one and got traditional clay pots, and got a 14" for the base, then 2 12"s, 2 10"s, and an 8" (I think...). Mine is a 14" base, then 3 10"s, 2 8"s, and a 6".

How neat! DH is a landscaper, so he might be interested in this. I kill every green thing I touch, so it would be hopeless for me to even try!:vollkommenauf:

That is so so cute and I love the colors. Too bad that I can't seem to keep any plants alive or I'd be out to try it soon. Maybe I could adapt it to something that could work for me.

Anyone know a good reason why I can't see the photos? They have a red x in the corner where they should be. The same thing is happening to me on some of the Contest entries for this month. I hate to miss a photo!!!

Check to see if you have any windows updates that need to be done. That might help. Let me know after you do that if it worked or not.

Unfortunately I'm on my work computer, which I can perform updates on. I'll check my home computer and see if I can see them there...thanks anyway!

HA! Yea, probably not until it affects your job.
