I love this so much. Planters are such a great way to spread flower and foliage love. Plus you can add an artistic touch with your choice of container. Excellent photo of this row of them. I tip my hat to you.

I thought I'd share with you a prospective banner I had recently mapped out, and its source image. I was planning to call it Petunia Planters. It's one that features planters, too, but after seeing your banner (so much better than mine), I decided to put mine out to pasture without submitting it. I've plenty of other ideas, and I love seeing variety, and imagine others do, too.
Here's the starting image

and the cropped version

Note added re the question of how much of my non-banner would show. I created it as 1200x150 pixels.

I agree Kristi, those were my thoughts exactly! Smiling Great banner, Fleur!

Elizabeth, I think your banner would be good except that most of the pink flowers would not be visible---at least not on the two computers I typically use. I don't know how much of the banner shows on other devices.

Elegant banner, Fleur! Thumbs up

I like everything about it...the combination of plants.the contrast of colors...leaves, blooms,
and how they drape over the pot just right....bricks on the wall,
& the pots with raised emblems, & overcast lighting.

It has that "Martha Stewart" look. Smiling
