    :) Has anyone seen this giant hanging basket pictured in Amateur Gardening?
    6mts x 3mts attached to the Hotel Indigo in Paddington London.
    At first I thought It's not real........They are false flowers.........It's April 1st.
    What do YOU think :)

    It appears to have about 12 Nephrolepis ferns on this side,:scratch: A standard basket would only take 3/5 depending on size.(no one in their right mind would risk ferns in a basket) looks like an illusion to me too.:skp:

    WHY would they want a hanging basket that big? It must be a health and safety risk at that size/weight:o
