    Abstract: A trapezoidal framework for suspending houseplants in front of a window pane. The framework attaches to a window frame and has diagonal members equipped with hooks for supporting pots on straps or wires. The diagonal members are pivotally interconnected and telescopically adjustable, so that the framework can be made to fit a variety of window sizes. Brackets securing the framework to the window frame will accommodate window frames of either rectangular or rounded-off cross-sections.
