Camelia bud...

Lovely creamy white camellia bud...

Bird House Gourd...

When the rats decided my gourds were delicious, a lot ended up a bit holey!

So I used the ones with bird sized holes to make birdhouses. 

First I painted the inside of the gourd white, then the outside a lovely yellow.

I love butterflies, so there was no question what to decorate the outside with...

a pretty blue butterfly on a leafy branch.

Morning Star...

The prettiest little star flowers....

and would you believe growing in the top of a large rock.

All I did was get the chisel and hammer out,

 and chipped away at the rock until there was a small pot size indent. 

'Morning Star' is a Rhodohypoxis....

and has been happily growing in the rock for the past two years!
