No not the one inside the house silly.
I mean a defunct one, out in the yard as a decorative accent of course. A planter, potted plant...
What plant would not only look good in the white comode but also have an inside joke or wry wit?
Hmmm...St John's Wort?
My knowledge base is small...

Near Vegas, zone 9ish
Something with obvious thorns. Something spiky. Maybe a cactus sticking straight up in the middle would make some people cringe.
Will this be an annual? Or a perennial? What zone are you in?

I would block the outflow pipe and grow Bog plants
You are ACTUALLY going to put a toilet in your yard?????
Kidding, right?
*sigh* to each his own I guess....Kate
That would be my response lol.
If you don't get winter, you're probably OK. Otherwise, you might have to consider that the trap in the toilet will hold water and thereby be susceptible to cracking the ceramic when you get freezing temperatures.
Also, most plants' roots require air as well as water, so they need some drainage in their pots.

Pee-tunias actually look good in one. Plant not only the bowl but the tank as well.
Thanks Warren,
I generally prefer perennials and self seeding annuals.
I do have some cactus in pots that could use a change of venue. And it would work for my location, the very last line in my orginal post was "Near Vegas, zone 9ish."
Thanks
Jay
Bog! I love it! Hmmm perhaps I could stick it in my pond instead.
I'm going to have to "ponder" this one.

Winters are very mild here.
Thanks for mentioning the trap. Maybe this is my chance to try out one of my ceramic/glass drills. Or what if I just puddled some strong acid to eat out the bottom of the trap. Actually this makes me wonder what would happen if I etched away the hard smooth outer layer.
Would I then have something like a Chia toilet?
Thanks!
Jay
Hmmm....the tank! See this time I just have the bowl.
Oh man, I'm in trouble. Now I want a tank too!
Thanks Red!

Not sure where I saw it, but someone sprayed his car with adhesive, then grass seed. Maybe you could use that concept.
And likely to stay that way from the looks of things... ;-)
Stapelia gigantea would have an appropriate smell.
deg
Sheesh...me too. Pick up some porch geese with tons of "outfits" while you're at it. :::cringe:::
Don't forget the "Madonna in a Bathtub" grotto. That would coordinate nicely with the toilet.
Well Sugar... you can CHANGE that. after all, pigskin makes some of the finest shoes and boots and gloves you gould ever wear ;-)

NO HOLD ON JUST A COTTON PICKIN MINUTE!
Must I teach ya'll how to accessorize???
No toilet ensemble would be complete without...
A rusted out dead car or three in the yard with weeds growing up around the sides so thick you cant' tell what kind of car it is.
