Thanks everyone for posting such great ART on this thread! I have been looking back and reviewing all the pics. I moved from that home I had when I started this thread, and I really do miss my garden

The house was nothing to write home about, but I loved my garden and put a lot of sweat into it. Well, on to bigger and better things I hope! Here is some new art from my new garden. I still have all the old stuff, but have not found places for most of it, yet. This fist pic is for Leafmould and Dirtpig of my stepping stones. My DD 2nd grade class made them as a PTO fund raiser,and auctioned them off to us parents. They made 4, and auctioned them as 2 sets of 2. I snagged them both, for a very good price, for them by the way. Not very nice of me, but hey they are only in second grade once. I did realize I was not creating friends by doing this, and offered 2 to anyone who wanted to match my bid to the PTO, but had no takers, so I got to keep all 4! She knows every button or marble she layed in these stones!

Lisa, these are the gazers. I thought about you every time I went shopping for the balls. The pedestals, I think were $6 and $9, early this spring. The balls cost me a bundle, but I had special free dollars from making purchases at the nursery all season, so they didn't quite break the bank, LOL.

Old bird feeder, my DD say's she will use to keep a fairy in if she ever catches one.

Last one, not really art, but a different kind of potting solution.

I have guard dwarf. It watches Dorothy Benedict. This summer was the first year it "woke up" in my yard. It's considerable smaller than when it arrived last year. It's actually more divisions but the mound is smaller. I have all the dwarfs and Snow white. Later, Love, Lisa

Couldn't resist posting this this picture. Originally it was supposed to show the Hottunya in the shadebed, but the Fron looks better than the flowers. Just too much heat and too little rain.

Oh, when it works it also serves as a sprinkler.

O.C. in a jovial mood this morning............

Honestly I just dragged this gazer out of the garage yesterday and set it next to Titanic. They must be breeding or something....there everywhere. Later, Love, Lisa

I love gazers and my new love of lilium. Later, Love, Lisa

There's that liliy again!!

Names, Lisa....Names!!!

going to go see if she didn't already post the name in the daylily forum.....

oldcoot · Post by **oldcoot** » Jul 28, 2004 8:39 am

That is one beautiful Lily. What is it's name ??

I'm hoping CHris will add a Lilum forum to our group next year. I believe it will encourage many more of us who grow Liliums to post them so others can see them..

Congrats from O.C. the Lily Lover (along with Daylilies, Iris, Canna & now HOSTA)

This photo was taken in Iowa, in the garden of Audra & Fred Wilson. I love gazing balls and this looks like it would be in MY garden. Later, Love, Lisa

I forgot DH's interactive rock & rusty bird. Cheryl

Interesting article Doris . . . have you ever been by the place??

Cheryl, you've gotta explain . . . Interactive Rock? It's in a different position in the two pictures, does it move? How?

Doris_J · Post by **Doris_J** » Aug 06, 2004 8:59 pm

No, I didn't even know about this place until I saw the article. It's about an hour and a half south of me. I'm going to have to check it out!

Here's our latest guard dog garden sculpture. It won't bark, bit or jump. No pooper scooper needed. It cost us $20.- in raffle tickets. He's next to the dog house now but he's moving to the garden. Andy named him "Fred". Later, Love, Lisa

Konica-Minolta Dimage A2 ?? It is 8.3 MP and comes with a host of accessories and a Photo Editing Program. Going at Wal-Mart for about 850.00 give or take a few dollars.

Best of all O.C. could use ALL of his Minolta Lenses that he already has..

O.C. would appreciate you comments as he is now on the prowl for some new hardware.
