You find the coolest stuff!

Very nice addition to the garden!

Never heard of String of Pearls until today. It's an annual that likes sun and light shade, but not too much sun or it will "burn" the greenhouse worker said. It will continue to grow and one can trim it if you choose.

I like that very much :-)

Love it!

Love it ! Maybe get Cleo and plant her also.

So cute and a fun addition.

Very nice! Ive always wanted a head with string of pearls. So interesting.

It's a perennial in my climate.

moonie - you are correct, it is a perennial. I just Googled it after I read your reply. For some reason I just assumed it was an annual and never bothered to ask the greenhouse. Thank you.

ETA: Oh boy. I went back and read some more. It also a houseplant, a succulent, and doesn't do well with a lot of watering. Mine is sitting outside in a sunken garden and it's been storming and raining since early evening. LOL!

Where are you, schoolhouse? Mine died one year after a colder than normal winter.

It can take the rain. :)

Im just wondering if the head has a drain hole, whether for rain or regular watering.

A very pretty setting! Nice!

Caesar providing a few pearls of wisdom! Presumably beware the ides of March! Love it!

Unfortunately, the Ides of March came in the evening of May 26th. After taking care of the outside cats this morning, I decided to check on Caesar......he lay on the floor of the sunken garden, his beautiful tresses spilled out upon the dirt. I scooped them up and packed them back in but he looks a little disheveled.

The storm? coons? chipmunks?.....Et tu Brute.

Would love to see your secret garden, I love the concept.

Love that. Have never seen a bust/planter in any of our garden shops. Now, I want one.

Maybe it fell because it was level yet? In a few days it will look less disheveled, i think.

I definitely think you need to get Cleopatra to go with him!

Love the planted heads. Have you seen the ones with grasses? I have always wanted one, but never see them except in magazines. Yours is lovely...is it life size?

The flat stone, I thought, made it sit pretty solidly. In fact, I just adjusted the rock awhile ago and tested by tilting the planter forward and side to side. Doesn't move enough to topple by my estimates. But then if a curious critter stood up on the rim or tried to crawl inside, maybe disaster would strike again. I'll go back after while and figure out a better way for temp. Or set the planter on the ground tonight.

Too hot and humid this afternoon to do any excavating around the table to level the top.

No the planter isn't life-size. It's appx. 11" high. There are many sites online that sell them - inexpensive to very expensive. I really like the ones made from stone-like material. There are life-sized ones too pretty sure.
