I have several glass containers too.

The asters and the zinnia seem to thrive in heat. Here the fall asters are blooming along the trails (it was frosty when I hiked this morning). I also have marbles from my childhood stored in a glass canister. Sometimes, my grandchildren ask if they can pour them out and look at them. I have them sitting on an open kitchen shelf and like to see them and remember playing with them as a child.
