It’s hard to believe, but not so long ago it was difficult to find anything other than terracotta pots for your flowers. The ancient Egyptians were the first civilization believed to put plants in pots. That was thousands of years ago, and the clay pots they used weren’t much different from the terracotta pots still being sold today. In other words, despite the enduring appeal and diverse array of flowers, it took a long time for the pots that hold them to evolve.
