Although this could very well be a picture of me finding a new treasure at a favorite nursery, it's actually an illustration by David Catrow for a children's book called Plantzilla.

Wordless Wednesday - Some Faces from the Northwest Flower and Garden Show 2015











Sun faces are from Inside Out Home and Garden which also does mail order here.  Are those expressions funny or what?  Ceramic Faces are by Cynthia Jenkins Pottery.  I'd admired Cynthia's work for many years and finally purchased a few pieces this year.  The problem is just choosing one or two things as they're all so fabulous!

  1. I guess I'm a real traditionalist at heart as I like the last sun face the best…it is the most pleasant of faces.

  2. Overwhelming. I'm still trying to decide about putting Rhipsalis in a head pot. Looking forward to seeing exactly what you bought.

    1. You gave me the idea of putting Rhipsalis in a head pot so I think you should do it. Some of what I bought was in the Meanwhile, back in the greenhouse post but I'll do a post with everything one of these days.

  4. All so fabulous! I love the ceramic work, I really meant to buy a skull face cup or two at her booth, but neglected to go back. You really need to show what you bought and what you did with them!

    1. I also fell in love with a large plate with lots of crows in branches eating bright red berries but when I returned, it was gone. Hopefully Cynthia will be at the show again next year! Post is forthcoming!

  5. Oh I always have the problem of taking too much time to decide between one or another piece of whatever I´m buying. So I understand your problem in deciding between Cynthia´s work.

  6. The first bad- tempered cigar -smoking sun face is priceless. What fun to have an angry sun .

    1. And interesting that overexposure to the sun and smoking both cause cancer...

  7. These faces are fun. I visited the "Inside out" site to see more. Lovely garden art. I was drooling over their garden lighting, but not so much over the prices. It became clear why the "sun faces" are so grumpy!
    I add my name to the list of followers interested to see your purchases. Do share.

    1. I also loved the lighting on their website but thought the same thing about the prices. Of course, hand made anything is always more expensive. I'll do a post about my purchases although most of the plant purchases were posted in "Meanwhile, back in the greenhouse."

  8. Pretty faces, Peter. I liked the smiling sun, with curved rays.

    1. Thanks Jenni, It's easy at shows like this to see all kinds of cool stuff! Are you going to the Portland show this week?

  10. The bunny watering pot is cute, makes me think of Peter Rabbit. The face planters on pedestals would look great with all kinds of foliage plants for hair!

    1. I love face planters for some reason and revel in finding interesting hair for them.

  11. I absolutely love the suns. Thanks for the link - I'm going to put it on my b-day list as a prod to my husband (even though that's months away).
