My personal vision of a bottle garden, which is something I never heard of before.

__________________________________________________________________

Though impecunious at the time I was, I just had to have a bottle garden because I thought how beautiful a colossal one could be, so I headed to antique shops and collected some for free. I found at least 200 most sublime - empty bottles which once contained fine perfume or wine. I planted them around my yard neck up from the ground. They sure look pretty with plastic flowers poking out.

But have you ever seen a bottle garden with real flowers? Very difficult to design and maintain. Plastic flowers do not require such attention. Lovely poem though. Hugs.

I love your mind, Andrea. It just screems creativity. An intriguing project, the bottle garden. I've not seen one of them, but yours sounds pretty interesting to me. Whatever lifts your spirits is a good thing. A poet friend in Texas, Bill

I would not suppose anyone has seen a bottle garden like that which I wrote of. Thanks for enjoying my creativity.
