  • Being so small it would dry out very quickly, so I would suggest succulents and/or sempervivums, which will tolerate being dry.

    Birdseed?

    Apophthegm -  a big word for a small thought.
    If you live in Derbyshire, as I do.

    Brilliant Pansy! Just spilt my coffee! But think I'll go with Alan's suggestion...

    I have plenty of black grass (can't spell the other!) Paula. But what about their roots? Don't they need room to spread? Or will they still be happy 'contained'?

    Sorry about the new name Philippa image Its wood not metal.

    Ferns grow in cracks in walls - no soil, dry - sounds ok. On the same vein - would that flowery trailey thing work (aubretia?), guess not or someone would have mentioned it.

    Ivy?

    Crocus or hyacinth bulbs next year?

    Plastic plants would work a treat image

    Are you sure they're 9 cm top and bottom MrsG? The top's wider.....

    9 cm depth and width is tiny. Sempervivums are about the only thing that would survive I think. Not really the right setting for them though  image

    You could fill them with Easter eggs for next weekend  image

    It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....



    I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
