ABSTRACT:
A flowering planter comprising an axially elongated upright cylindrically shaped hollow sleeve. The sleeve is comprised of an opaque synthetic plastic material. A cup shaped bottom is disposed at a bottom end of the sleeve. Adhesive secures the axially elongated upright cylindrically shaped hollow sleeve in water tight assembly with the cup shaped bottom, a hanger structure connects the hanger structure to an upper open end of the sleeve for hanging the planter to an above ground support. Vertically extending circumferentially spaced keyhole shaped slots are oriented on the axially elongated upright cylindrically shaped hollow sleeve for plants to extend through the vertically extending circumferentially spaced keyhole shaped slots. A cylindrically shaped watering tube is mounted internally of the axially elongated upright cylindrically shaped hollow sleeve in coaxial relation therewith. Tube holder structures positioned internally of the elongated upright cylindrically shaped hollow sleeve and is engaged with a closed lower end of the cylindrically shaped watering tube assisting in holding the cylindrically shaped watering tube in an upright position in radially spaced relation to an interior surface of the axially elongated upright cylindrically shaped hollow sleeve. The cylindrically shaped watering tube has axially spaced water discharge orifices circumferentially positioned in radially confronting relation and axially above the circumferentially spaced keyhole shaped slots enabling water to be conveyed through the orifices to plant root structure positioned in radial adjacency to each of the circumferentially spaced keyhole shaped slots.
