I got a lot of these, different groupings, to add color to the front porch area. It's really hot here and most flowers we plant just die. I mixed them all up into two pots. We added planting soils and rocks to weigh down the pots. In addition the heat, we have really high winds. So far, it's been over a month and they look just great. The day before yesterday and last night we had a quite of bit of rain and wind. I was anxious tonight to see how the did. They look just like they did when we set them up. I was afraid they would short out but nope, they're all lit up tonight.
