Quirky art sets this garden apart
Today ’s photos amount from Jonathan Harris , in Maine , who is sharing the garden around his pool , which he call his Guster Pool Garden , because there are signaling on the fence with lyric poem from strain by the lot Guster .
The song lyrics here are gather under a bloom hardy hibiscus ( Hibiscussyriacus , Zones 4–9 ) , next to a violent - leavedninebark(Physocarpusopulifolius , Zones 2–8 ) , and below a white Oriental lily ( Liliumhybrid , Oriental group , Zones 4–7 ) .
Garden art decorate the fencing , while between it and the syndicate a liberal clump of black - eyed Susan ( Rudbeckiafulgida , Zones 3–9 ) thrive .
Along this side of the pool are several stems of commonmilkweed(Asclepiassyriaca , Zones 3–9 ) so the milkweed butterfly butterflies will have something to lay their eggs on .
Some of Jonathan ’s garden medallion are a small off the beaten way .
A pot of orangeGazania(annual ) echoes the color of the black - eyed Susans on the other side of the syndicate .
A flock of pink flamingo patrols the garden .
marvelous ornamental pasturage ( Miscanthussinensis , Zones 5–9 ) surround the pool . I depend it is nice to sit in that air bladder and listen to the wind instrument in the grasses .
A wide of the mark view of the poolside plantings gives a sense of how this beautiful space all fits together .
