Carolyn's Garden

  
Another project is collecting rustic (rusty) garden art. One man's trash is another man's art.
 

          
  










   On the right is an old aquarium stand supporting bog sage (Salvia ugliosa) with Black and Blue sage  (Salvia guaranitica) in the foreground.  At left is a rusty candelabra holding back bamboo muhly (Muhlenbergia dumosa) over tubs of cactus and cholla (both in the genus Opuntia) and four nerve daisies (Hymenoxys scaposa).

  
   Plow shares sit in front of annual red salvia Salvia splendens with Mexican lobelia Lobelia laxiflora to the right.
