I actually looked EVERYWHERE for similar mini-pots....and couldnt find anything. BUT....I went to IKEA....and they sell juice glasses shaped EXACTLY like the flower pots (6 for $2!) So I bought a few of them.....got some craft paint....poured it in the cups.....swirled it around to cover the sides.......and they look just like the ones you used! For 60 mini-pot favors........glasses/paint/ribbon/flowers........its only going to cost me about $50-$60! Now I'm having trouble finding those little mini faux orange stems............ Thanks!

Mon, 25 Aug 2008 06:51:38 +0000 http://nwp.hostessblog.com/2007/05/ask-hwtm-citrus-shower/#comment-34316 Hi Erin - I actually bought those at IKEA, but it was over 2 years ago now that this shower was held, so I'm not sure if they'll have them any more. I've tried searching online and have had a hard time finding anything similar as well. Alternatives that I might suggest are to purchase regular mini flower pots (from places like Home Depot or Lowes) and just decorate them with orange and yellow ribbon - or spray paint them orange and yellow if you're feeling very motivated :) Or you could also look for orange and yellow paper or acrylic cups for the same type of effect. Good luck with the shower! Hi Erin –

As for yellow, they have five shades to choose from. I know I’m a bit late here, but I would recommend lunabazaar.com as the website with the best selection of colors of paper lanterns.

I just bought them in the nursery area of Home Depot. I can't remember the exact price, but it wasn't much - I think maybe $2-3 per "6 pack" (enough to fill 6 pots). <a HREF="http://images.google.com/imgres?imgurl=http://images.jupiterimages.com/common/detail/11/60/23426011.jpg&imgrefurl=http://www.jupiterimages.com/itemDetail.aspx%3FitemID%3D23426011&h=250&w=184&sz=23&hl=en&start=1&sig2=uQI6a-uXLid_QBFvy3cWRQ&um=1&tbnid=n0_Ar5npVfGS6M:&tbnh=111&tbnw=82&ei=fqYvR52BKp2SggO35eyMAQ&prev=/images%3Fq%3DSweet%2BAllysum%2BBedding%2BPlant%26svnum%3D10%26um%3D1%26hl%3Den%26sa%3DN" REL="nofollow">Here's an image that looks similar to how they looked packaged at the nursery.</a> Hope that helps!

They actually are not pictures here, but on the website. I was wondering what was planted in those.
