In October I purchased a bunch of tulip, hyacinth and other spring bulbs to pot up some containers for forcing indoors. I had a pot for myself and bought a couple for my mom and SIL. However I used a plastic pot like you buy perennials in for a fourth pot for a BIL. I do not have or want to run around looking for a basket or other container for this pot. How can I disguise it and make it more pretty. I thought of cutting a piece of burlap and tying it on.
Any other suggestions. After blooming I'm sure this will be discarded to nothing to costly.
Thanks!!

Hmmm, the burlap sounds good. With a not too girly bow maybe something dark green, since its for the BIL. Burlap is a good manly wrapping.

Or even tie it up with some just gardening twine!

Yes, tin foil with a pretty ribbon. Or get crafty and use white glue and add sparkles. Or cut up some old greeting cards and decoupage the images onto the pot.

As for wrapping, use clear cellowrap and tie it with raffia or a pretty ribbon.
