Container Delight
I can scarcely contain my delight at the ongoing splendour throughout the summer of our garden containers. These are miniature gardens, full of form, structure, colour and fragrance. Each of these garden containers is invested with the beauty of a miniature landscape, held within the confines of its enclosure. They are not only beloved by me but also by all manner of flying insects, including butterflies, bees, wasps and wonder of wonders, hummingbirds.
There are large clay pots shaped like bell jars, some with ornamentation, some without. There are larger yet clay pots which have been glazed with bright colours ornamenting their exteriors, colours meant to complement nature and the flowers which adorn them.
There are classical stoneware urns of great size and those of a more modest size. Some of these urns are ornamented with Greek-copied classical dancing figures, some are faceted with classical faces.
All of them give us deep pleasure, and we treasure them all.
Please, be my guest.
See for yourself.
I invite you to take pleasure in the beauty of these wonderful works of nature.
