Thanks Missa and Anne: You just wouldn't believe how much easier that bridge has made my life. I would squeeze, slip and slide whenever I needed to get to the other side of the settlement pond. There was only about 1 1/2-2 ft of room to navigate through. I just love it. Lisa: Thanks. I will try to post some pics of the red bridge's new "digs." I want the bottom of the flower boxes to hang down into the pond so I don't have to water them. I was thinking of maybe parrots feather, some impatiens or whatever can grow in water. Maybe some sweet potato vine that can trail over the edges. I bought six spikes and vinca vines at Marc's last weekend. I grew spikes in the very first floating planters and they took off like crazy. As a matter of fact I threw the planters in a pile for the winter and covered them with leaves and several spikes made it through the winter even though they are annuals. I don't know if million bells like to have their feet wet but I may try a few of them to see what happens. I was thinking of hummingbird flowers too. Maybe cardinal flowers, heliotrope, and lantana. I love pastel colors with green vines. If you have any suggestions let me know. Jenny

It is so nice to know that daylilies are blooming somewhere in the world:) Really like that Splendid Touch x Patmfsud seedling. The flowers in the background look like a great companion plant. These are so pretty and I see the sun shining in the back of the Solar Max seedling. It just warmed me up. It's not terribly cold here in southern Indiana/USA yet, but dreary, wet, and windy. Thanks for brightening my day! Vickie

I recommend GE II Silicone II Clear (premium waterproof silicone for kitchen/bath/plumbing or window and door) in a 2.8 fl. oz. tube. It has a white and red label. Don't get the big one that requires a gun to apply; the little tube is plenty. Insert the plexiglass cross in the opening and run a bead of silicone around it and then smooth with your finger. I use this all the time for outdoor glass-on-glass pieces and it works perfectly. I buy it at Lowes. Do not use Weldbond.

I thought I commented on this , but I guess I was stunned speechless by its beauty! I love stone and glass together. You must get a lot of people staring at your house :-)
