Maine Botanical Garden Art
As amazing as the plants and flowers were, the art scattered through out the garden were equally wonderful.
As you enter, these life sized animals greet you; there was a pair of wolves and a pair of deer made of rebar and smaller rods. So very realistic!
This over-sized chair made from driftwood looks almost like the skeleton of something that once lived! It was in the children’s garden and I’ll bet it offers an amazing photo-op.
This wonderful pair of wire birds stood out against the huge blooms.
On the wooded trail this glass orb literally glowed against the dark foliage. It is made from what looked like small pieces of broken glass, maybe windshield glass I think.
This life sized Heron near the waterfall seems poised to nab the real frog that cooperated in my photography composition.
These were only a few of the many artworks to be seen in the gardens. If I lived there I’d be a member for sure, and visit often.
Here on the home-front we are getting RAIN!!! Yesterday morning I continued my garden renovations and dug out 125 (yes, I counted) Surprise Lily bulbs from just one bed. Now there’s a plant that likes Kansas but even it is not blooming well this year.
