I had delegated this broken run down birdie house to our cast off, set aside area on the side of the house that no one sees. Then I ran across this photo taken last year when my rain lilies were struttin their stuff and noticed where I once had this bird house. I rescued it from its banishment area and put it back in this same location. I don't care if it shows its age - it's like the garden woman who lives here. (lol)

It looks cute in there!

I agree Amaryllis...a foxtail fern. I want one or two, I already have regular asparagus ferns.

And I dug up some of my rain lilies this spring, they weren't blooming very well...no wonder...6 bulbs (3ea. hole) had become 85 bulbs between the 2 holes in 4 yrs.
