I put a brightly colored cut flower in the birdbath out front and it brings a lot of bees and butterflies. Guess the sweet in the water. They are not bothering with the flower but drinking. The bath has a raised 'rose' in the middle and allows a shallow place to land. That is another great birdbath totem. Good Job.

are these recent purchases... or have they been in the yard forever???? it makes a difference on the names offered ken

Also do 'Paris' and 'Old World' in caps : ) I was thinking, when the sign sells, you really should make another one for your friend (not the Etsy buyer) since they won't come out the same. I hate it when I buy something on eBay only to find they were selling multiple similar items and did not send the one I saw and liked. (One time I got a truly ugly tin ceiling tile -- leftovers from the lot I suppose, or hoping to just pass it off -- when the pic was really pretty and interesting. What a hassle.) Of course, things in catalogues aren't the pic versions, but one doesn't expect it to be and simply worries what the sent one will actually look like. I guess you could also just state in the ad that the sign shown is no longer for sale, but that they are made to order and will vary due to the nature of handcrafted items. (I'd follow up the sale with a preview pic of the new item before shipment, just to be sure they like it, too : ) Thanks for sharing instructions! (You could get much more : )

woohoo, It is not burn. Just the yellowing of the leaves. Always been there, even when I gave them MG, epsom, or something else. Im not sure slashing them in their infancy and having them grow that color is even possible, but who knows. I cant remember that far back if I did it. I gave them a shot of epsom and calcuim (for the other plants) today so I will tell you if they change color. If not, maybe that is the color of that plant.
