No they are ones without a reservoir.
Basket, matting, bit of moss, compost and dead plants. Looks awful.
The few that are on lamposts are watered by someone from the council, but not those so high off the ground that even if they wanted to water them they couldn't reach.
The one outside Owen and Ewing's Insurance Brokers are under the guttering and aren't even near an upstairs window. How the hell they were supposed to be watered is a mystery.
Perhaps if they are stupid enough to do the same thing next year they will provide shopkeepers with some stilts.
Happily my own floral display looks stunning.
Watered twice a day, dead headed daily, and feed once a week, in time to be at it's peak to greet my guest Milly, soon to be arrivied from Milan.
