I like the allium sculpture…but in my garden it would have to be a smaller version…
Have a great weekend ;)

Great pictures!!
I believe the “wildlife tower’ is a hotel for insects providing an ideal habitat for many insects.
Many european gardener install structures for bees and other insects.

What fun! The Allium and Illuminator speak to me. Lovely! Have a great weekend.

I think I’m out on a limb here and would be tempted to phone the council to take them away.

I enjoyed this post as it was different and nice to see some sculpture. I have seen those allium heads before and coverted them. I doubt I could afford one and even if I could it would be a bad idea as I have a sloping garden and it may roll away!!

Those whimsical objects are great! The allium seed head is fantastic, and the Illuminator stole my heart completely. So beautiful!

Just loverly!

Gravatar 22 Kanak { 02.21.11 at 5:39 pm }

Wonderful images! I love the allium seed head sculpture the most!!

Gravatar 23 Timjan & Akleja { 02.21.11 at 6:03 pm }

Oh, I could easily imagine having both the wildlife tower and the allium sculpture in my garden – although they would have to be in a smaller scale… :) Very nice pictures!

Love,
Birgit

Those must be the neatest insect hotels I have ever seen :) I would not say no to the allium seedhead should it appear in my garden overnight.
