  1. Every neighborhood has a crackpot - we have one next door!

  2. I presume that you don't have freezing and ice to cause cracks. But if this is the only crackpot in the neighborhood, consider yourself lucky.

  3. The crack just adds to the charm and beauty of the container plant.

  5. I laughed when I finally saw the photo after it loaded...I was imagining something else entirely. I have a couple of crackpots on my terrace....and a few in our apartment building....

  7. Beautiful photo of a picturesque (and inoffensive) crackpot. It looks like a Tuscan coppo, or at least the same kind of vase...

  12. The Simpsons, episode 3F13: “Lisa the Iconoclast”, credits, beneath the statue of Jebediah Springfield:

    A noble spirit embiggens the smallest man.

  18. A neighbor has two with the same crack, at their walkway. Exact same crack design. I want to turn one around each time I pass so it's not so obvious.

    I don't know what they're called, but the plant grows like crazy in flower beds and needs constant cutting back. Looks great in the pot and would make a britiful painting. .

  24. Hahaha. Too bad the pot is cracked though. I like it's shape and neutral colour.

  25. @ EG - I think these pots are made that way...somehow people think a cracked pot has more character than whole pot. I'd like a whole lot of cracked pots!
