Birdbath flower bed

Birdbath Flower Bed ( photo / image / picture from tkhooper's Garden )

This bed began at the dump. I got the stand for the birdbath there. It's the one with a squirrel running up a tree stump. Of course the squirrel had taken a lot of weathering and doesn't really show up well but it's good enough to hold the bowl securely.

The top is the one that looks like a leaf and it has a little place for water for butterflies which is why I choose it.

I have honesty (winter interest), Mums (fall interest) Indian Feather (Late Summer interest), Portulaca (summer interest) so far. I haven't figured out a spring plant for it yet I have a problem with voles and moles which limits the choices a bit.

I plant to add chinese lanterns to this bed. I know they are agressive but I do love them.
