I'm sharing pictures from our back yard this week for Outdoor Wednesday. Whimsy strikes my fancy and I love country cottage gardens. Combine the two and I'm just tickled pink! (Click on the pictures to enlarge them.)A giant dragonfly bought several years ago at the country folk art craft fair flies over the flowers. My hubby found the little child's school chair in the trash and brought it home. He knew I'd be delighted and I was of course! (Yes, Bailey decided to walk through the flowers as I took pictures.)
A new stone bunny has moved into the garden. Isn't he just too cute for words?!? He's heard all about The Stone Rabbit's blog and thought our back yard would be a good home for him. I'm on a mission to collect stone bunnies after reading Dana's blog. You can visit The Stone Rabbit by clicking HERE.
I was thrilled to see the flowers in the bicycle basket blooming. I love whimsical pieces and they never fail to put a smile on my face.
One of my ceramic kitties guards a rose bush.
The Cymbidium Orchids have outdone themselves this year. The top two pictures are dwarf varieties.
Susan, thank you for hosting this delightful event. You can visit A Southern Daydreamer to see the other Outdoor Wednesday posts, by clicking HERE.

I'm amazed by your orchids! I couldn't get them to grow that well in Florida, I don't know how you do it here. You must be a better plant mommy than I am!!!
Oh Diane, I love your orchids! Are they planted in the ground? Do they come back after winter? I love your whimsical garden...Christine
