I wonder if someone were to kiss this crowned frog if it would turn into Prince Charming?
This is another piece of metal artwork that my husband and I saw when we went to the Toronto Outdoor Art Exhibition in downtown Toronto during the summer.
The show was fantastic, but I enjoyed the metal art work the most.
I’d love to have this metal sculpture either in my garden or on our front porch to greet visitors.
I love gladiolas. They are an old fashioned flower, but so lovely in the garden. This photo is of gladiola buds. I think the flowers were fully open about a day or two later.
I rarely cut the flowers in my garden as I prefer to enjoy them by looking at them from within the house or while in in the garden, but if I were to cut some flowers gladiolas would be a good choice. Especially if they were buds that were just opening like this one. The cut gladiolas would continue to open in the vase and would last about a week.
Do you cut flowers from your garden? What’s your favorite type to bring indoors?

Wordless Wednesday
I’ve always loved old mini VW vans, but I’ve never seen one this small!
I wonder what this biker keeps in his tiny VW? Great for storage or even a pet but certainly not a person. Ok, well I suppose an infant or child could ride in the VW sidecar too.
Have you ever seen motor bikes done up in funny ways like this?
My brown eyed susans are still blooming. They aren’t looking quite as nice as the ones in this photo which was taken in early August, but they are still blooming.
Do you grow Brown eyed susan? (rudbeckia) Each year I have to pull out a number of plants as they spread very easily in my garden. I suppose some of the spread is related to reseeding themselves, but most of the spread that I’ve noticed is from underground roots growing outward. New plants come up on these roots and I end up pulling out quite a few each year as a result.
