This summer my husband and I went to an outdoor art exhibit and the exhibit that I enjoyed the most was the one put on by a metal work artist.
This looks like a blue jay either guarding it’s nest or possibly landing or flying away from it’s nest. What do you think? I love that there’s actually eggs in the nest too.
All of the metal art work was made from recovered metal such as propane tanks and oil tanks.
I was just saying on my gardening blog that it’s time to buy some new bulbs for the garden. My oriental lilies didn’t come up this year and neither did my Lucifer crocosmia.
I think I know why my lovely red crocosmia didn’t come up though … Chris got out in the garden this past spring before I did, and he thought he was doing me a favor by tidying up the garden beds. I think he might have pulled out the crocosmia. It would have looked like long dead grass in the spring and he might not have noticed the tiny bulbs at the ends when he pulled them out of the ground.
Oops!
Hopefully I can find some new crocosmia bulbs in the store. Perhaps I’ll go later today and have a look.
Do you grow Crocosmia? It’s pretty easy to grow. Well, provided that no one pulls it out on you in the Spring.

Wordless Wednesday
Well that’s one way to spend time in the can isn’t it?
I wonder if these “toliets” start to become popular if we’ll start reading scientific reports about how the average time spent in the washroom has risen?
I don’t mind the idea of a TV in a washroom …. it’s the side by side stalls that I wouldn’t like!
I didn’t plant a single snap dragon this year yet I have them all over the garden and in my potted hanging baskets. They must have seeded themselves quite well last year!
Several colors came up this year – white, yellow, an orangish red, red, and this lovely pink colored snapdragon. Isn’t this a pretty color?
Do you grow snapdragons? If so, do yours regularly reseed themselves?
