I am the opposite of you maybe in that I don't have many ornamental objects or garden art in my garden. I seem to be so entranced with plants that I just don't pay enough attention to objects that could highlight a beautiful plant and provide a focal point. Thank you for the wonderful information, creating a focal point in my main perennial garden is a goal of mine this year!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7116278351699614429.post-3906344928594293832012-01-29T07:10:52.155-08:002012-01-29T07:10:52.155-08:00Beautiful garden designs photographed and presente...Beautiful garden designs photographed and presented with expertise.

I'm using different types of birdbaths and birdhouses to create a consistent thread that unites the various items, even though they're all unique. I'm excited about it and I'm happy its related to your post!
