Watercolors.

I was so excited to find this sweet birdbath a few years ago and promptly placed it in my perennial garden. Unfortunately the birds did not seem to like it. Maybe its location – near a side door – was too busy for them. However, I loved the way it looked in the garden and was determined that it would not sit empty. After a trip to Chanticleer Garden I was inspired. My birdbath would no longer be a birdbath but a vessel to hold whatever was blooming in my garden at the time. I love this idea for so many reasons. As I walk by I notice details of flowers that I might otherwise have not. The slightest breeze shifts the composition, keeping things fresh. The arrangement is truly the captured garden, showing my whole garden in one small space. I change the flowers in my “watercolor” every few days to keep the welcome at my side door inviting.

If you have an unused vessel why not turn it into a “frame” for your own watercolor?
