So lovely. Reminds me of Keukenhof...so much spring colour. I particularly love those lilac tulips!

She looks lovely there watching over the river of pebbles.

Nice comment, Karen... thank you.

Hi 3d... thanks .. I think at night, the mermaid isn't lonely because a hedgehog wanders around near the stream.

That's wonderful it's lovely to have a hedgehog.

Yes, 3d... he hibernates each winter behind the nearby bushes ..
and I've warned him .. don't squash the tulips !

That's wonderful he hibernates in your bush's lol I hope he heard you.

A colorful & thoughtful design. Love how the white river rocks draw the eye.

3d ... he heard me ... he mooches around in the dark, singing 'Tiptoe through the Tulips' ...

Thank you Bathgate ... I'm pleased with the white river design... at the time I created it, I didn't think too far ahead ... I was designing as I went along, so am especially pleased with the outcome.

Those are usually the best designs. Look at Van Gogh. He just took paint to canvas and 'Irises' sold for $53.9 million, the highest price ever paid for an artwork at auction.

I don't use expensive plants or stones ... just what's on sale locally, so thanks for reminding me that design is very important. To be honest, I could not work to a specific plan ... my designs definitely evolve as I go along.

I love the way you have done the white pebbles to make it look like a stream Terra.

Hi Rose... thank you... my garden has a slight natural slope downwards, which helps with the appearance of the stream.

Your mermaid blends in perfectly with all your dainty and delicate planting. All very harmonious together and as always, very, very pretty.

Thanks Wildrose ... my mermaid is a welcome custodian of my front garden ... and my plants are flowering nicely for her.

Your gardens are always an inspiration TT. Lovely scene, flowers, colors, everything.
