The plants which surround it must give the birds a place to perch and hop around when they drink. I have enjoyed your blog.

I bet there's a tractor or two that's worn it down a bit. Do you happen to know what kind of tree the stump is from? I can barely see the birdbath but I detect a hint of its beauty. I'm afraid to have naked ladies, for obvious reasons. ;~) I love the old secret “path.” I bet there’s a tractor or two that’s worn it down a bit.

I have only 1 type. (Lame!) Your mosaic birdbath is really beautiful, even if impractical. Every fall, when it’s too late, I see all the places where I could use more Colchicums. I have only 1 type.

You've already got Colchicum autumnale Alboplenum which looks pretty silvery in photos.

They're so uniquely beautiful! Everytime I see a bloom on someone's blog, I hate having to ask myself, can I grow that here with our colder climate and short season? The title of your blog answers that for me. I really like checking things out here. Thanks! I’ve never heard of colchicums before. They’re so uniquely beautiful!

They only bloom in autumn. You can get them from any reputable bulb company, but Odyssey Bulbs has a much greater selection. Good luck with your mosaic making. My birdbath was purchased and I've never done mosaics myself. Lynn, the colchicums do not bloom throughout the year. They only bloom in autumn.
