Garden "ornaments"

Post by DavidF »

Not sure if this topic has been covered before but I wondered if you guys had any non-plant items in your garden. We've all just seen Don's big croc :) and I know there is the odd carved head around, courtesy of Gary.

Here's a couple of mine....
I got this ant from Chelsea one year

This bug is made from recycled bits and pieces and is solar powered so its rear end lights up at night

And finally I've had this little Meerkat for years..

I have a few more but thought that would do for now. Let's see what you guys have then.

Well we start off quite tastefully, with my terracotta fern ball from Chatsworth House:

And then I also have a very tasteful concrete ammonite:

But then it goes downhill a bit:

I have another of his kind which I picked up on Friday, but no photos yet. And then it really gets quite silly, with my cracking pair of tots:

It is a Stego-sore-'arris, Mark! :lol: The other one (if it's sunny tonight I'll get a photo of it) is probably a made-up-a-saurus.

I have a couple of pink flamingos :oops: They are very shy and hide.......
Not really my taste and they were given to me as a 'present'.

Long story short I gave a friend hideous house warming presents for the garden in form of a ceramic mushroom, caterpillar and something else from Wilko, knowing full well English politeness couldn't refuse to accept and display them. I'm nasty like that :lol:
As a reciprocating gift I got two pink plastic flamingos back. They are so bad I've grown to like them .....

I'm a sucker for tinkling toadstools, but they do cater for us tropical types, by including some exotic animals. i've even named them Mr Echo the Gecko and Mrs Sprog the Tree Frog.http://www.tinklingtoadstools.co.uk/

I love that iguana Alan, very realistic and I also like that stained glass John. I have a friend who does stained glass classes, maybe I could commision her to do something similar!

The iguana looks very realistic Alan!

John, those stained glass panels are crackin' :)

We've got lots of ornaments but most of them are not positioned yet as to where they're supposed to be :roll: still have loads of projects to do.

Here's a few photos, nothing too unique I'm afraid :wink:
