While we were on vacation, I picked up a few things for the garden! We found a few beautiful pieces of driftwood. One piece used to be a huge stump of a very old tree. I think she'd be happy in her new home. I'm adding her as an end table in one of our sitting areas...just as soon as I can load it into the riding lawnmower trailer. After a bit of deliberation I decided to let it dry out a bit before trying to move it as it is a bit spongy in places around the edges.
Here are some nice, straight pieces of driftwood that I plan to use as edging. They're so organic...much better than plastic edging, which seems a bit jarring in a natural environment.
These flowers are from a plant my Father-In-Law gifted me...he called them "Mexican Petunias." I don't know if that's the real name, but they are amazing! At least 4 feet tall and they can be dug up and divided every year.

What a beautiful present from your father-in-law. They really are a wonderful summer flower.
Fantastic! There's really nothing better than driftwood, each piece is unique and always so natural. Have fun!
Your driftwood looks very good. Can't wait to see how you'll use it. I like your Mexican petunias.~~Dee
Great finds! I am doing a bit of scavenging myself and documenting the finds (all rock) at http://waywardrockrescue.blogspot.com/
It's great to see fellow earthlings being resourceful and finding the beauty in things others haven't found or appreciated yet! Cheers
I love to walk along he beach and pick up things. Especailly after a storm, you can find the oddest, most unique things. I haven't been in a while so it just may be time to get my flip flops and hat and go. : )
I love your mexican petunia.
