Hey everybody I finally have some pictures (hubby helped)





my seedling from John Davis (open pollinated) called Holly Bells. It has green tinges to the petals as they're opening, and pink is there. Then once it opens it turns white with tinges of yellow. It's still a baby



The closest we'll ever get to having chameleons in our yard.

















Violet's Pride ( a new rose for me this year) Barely any fragrance so far.





Pansies in a wheel barrow.



My St. Berdoodle (standard poodle crossed with a St. Bernard) He's very bad with other dogs.





Thanks for looking!!!

I love the pig!

Your yard art is adorable! Living in porkopolis, the pig is great! : ))

Cool! I've never taken pics of my yard art. I should do that!

Porkpal - yes, I love the pig too! My daughter loved pigs ever since she was very young and had tons of stuffed pigs. She still won't eat pork. So I've collected pig stuff for her and bird stuff for my other daughter...cause she's the same way with birds.

Vaporvac - another vote for the pig!!! Wahoo!!

Yes, Seil...you should!! I would find it inspiring to see your photos.

I too love Holly Bells and your pig. I know you created Holly Bells. Did you tile the pig too? Love the frog and of course, your sweet beastie.

Your chameleon and your birds are fantastic! Did you bead the chameleon? Make the birds? Do the mosaics? Or are you just magic on flowers? Love all your "stuff"!

Mustbnuts - My Holly Bells in the front yard (I have 2...one in a pot and a cutting out front) has fully opened and is yellowish cream with delicate pink edging. I hope this rose starts to put out some height and gets even more wonderful! But, it's still a baby. No, I didn't tile the pig...I'm not that talented.

pdermer - No, I didn't bead the chameleon, make the birds or do the mosaics... ... not that talented. Thank you, again

Feel free to add any pictures of your yard art here everyone!

Love the birds , look perfectly on the fence!

Lynnez!! When I put them up this spring, my dog thought they were real and charged the fence!

Haha, that's so funny

Yeah, I laughed and laughed!

The chameleon and the birds on the fence are my favourites.

Your yard is adorable Carol! Love your dog too! I hope your lovely Violet's Pride starts to get some fragrance soon.

Ann

How cute! I had to actually click on the bird pic to see if they were real lol

Violet's Pride is beautiful!! And I really like the combination shot with the bird bath.

So glad you finally get to share!

Lola - If you look closely at the birds...you can see where a stick would be attached. They are meant to be resting on a pole in the garden, but because of our glacial till there isn't much soil there, and the birds can't stand up straight. So I took them off the pole and put them on the fence instead. I like it that way better

Ann - I think there must be an ants living in my Viole'ts Pride pot...I can't even get a sniff of the blooms, because usually there are about 4 or 5 ants on each bud/flower. I think they're eating midge/thrips. I flick them off to get a picture.

RayGun - The bird bath and the small wheelbarrow with the marigolds and lobelia are in honor of my kids. One daughter loves yellow and the other loves purple. So I usually do some combination of yellow/purple in that wheelbarrow. This year I have the birds facing out into the other yard. Last year I had them facing in to our yard.

Thanks for helping me celebrate my yard
Today my Stainless Steel (pictures to come) is smelling heavenly!!! It's the only fragrance out there today.

Since you were so generous and showed us your garden art, here is some of my "art."
