Garden sculptures; flowers

Some may consider the term "garden sculpture" to be a euphemistic phrase for (vulgar) garden ornaments. However, I grew up in England, where garden gnomes rule. But because my mother came from Germany, we never had any. As a result, I have over-compensated and now have oodles of garden sculptures, most of them concrete and lugged from England.

Recently I heard about Art Cast in Ham Lake (www.statuepeople.com) and found a good selection of sculptures there. "Librarian gnome" and "Shy frog" came from Art Cast.

I'm also including a few of my favorite flowers.
