    The last pic in the first post is a view of one of the rose beds. Here are the rest of the pic's I took of the Annuals and Perennials they had planted.

    That is one of the 4 rose beds in the background that are here. These are annual impatiens that surround the fountain.

    Not sure what those interesting looking pinwheel looking flowers are? I will have to post a more up close pic in flower ID thread.

    This is another two of their Rose beds. All of the roses are pink surrounded by beautiful pastel annuals.

    Love the color combinations they use. This is a very neat thing to do with a bird bath. This one is quite large.

    Definitely love the birdbath idea. That is superb!

    I'd like to know the name of those pinwheel flowers too. They're pretty cute.

    I'm curious about the pinwheel flowers too. I like the looks of the bird bath also though it isn't something I would try.. :(

    I agree with everyone else that the birdbath is a real eye catcher. I'd love to have something just like it in my garden. I really enjoyed seeing all the planting and how it was laid out.

    So glad you all are enjoying the garden walk. I have an old satellite dish that might work in making a neat looking succulent garden. I also agree with you all on the great lay out of their flowers. I sure wish they would have labeled them thou.

    Thank you Philip. Yes that bird bath was quite stunning. Thank you for the flower name. I am planning on planting some of those next spring.

    Beautiful...and that is in Wisconsin? I have never been there. I go to the Botanical gardens in Green Bay to look at their gardens, some even take a lunch and picnic.
